The Design

About Van Gogh's Rosebush Collar

El Rosal de Van Gogh es un collar hecho a mano inspirado en la pintura Rosal en flor de Vincent van Gogh. El collar está realizado en oro de 18 quilates y perlas biwa botón de agua dulce. Las perlas evocan las formas redondeadas y los tamaños variados de las rosas del lienzo. El oro forma ramas que enlazan una perla con otra. La punta del collar es desmontable, de modo que la pieza puede adaptarse al estado de ánimo y al escote del día. Su forma ligeramente curvada ayuda a que el collar se ajuste al cuerpo. El diseño propone un uso moderno de las perlas.

Unique Properties
Handmade necklace made with the best raw material. gold 18k and pearls.. Designing a necklace inspired by Van Gogh’s “Rosebush in Blossom” required a different approach. Pearls were a natural choice to represent the rounded shapes and different sizes of the roses on Van Gogh’s canvas. Van Gogh’s branches became gold as they connect pearl to pearl in a complex web of beauty. The necklace’s tip is detachable, allowing the user to match the mood and neckline of the day. This necklace was made for the red carpet.

Design Challenge
The proposal of the necklace defies the conservative standards given to pearls. The idea here is to let go of the classic archetype of pearls and surrender to the spirit of modernity. Gold connects the dots as it recreates Van Gogh’s painting. The necklace's slightly curved shape gives way to the perfect fit; its tip is detachable allowing for *versatility* depending on mood, neckline and cleavage. Rosebush *undoubtedly* has what it takes to turn dullness into glamour.
Research
After extensive research on Van Gogh's paintings (there are almost 2000 works), the painting was chosen that would be the inspiration for the design. Then research was carried out on the painted tree (understanding of what the painter saw to be inspired). Realized the ideal design of the piece and choice of the ideal materials for execution.
