The Design

About Memorial Collar

Memorial es un collar modular elaborado en plata pura. El diseño rinde homenaje al personal sanitario que cuidó de los pacientes durante la pandemia de Covid-19. La parte circular del collar representa un anillo de luz alrededor de estos trabajadores de la salud. Las gemas engastadas en la base simbolizan la gratitud hacia el personal médico y asistencial. La pieza se ha modelado enteramente a mano a partir de arcilla de plata y posteriormente se ha cocido en horno. El elemento circular puede separarse del soporte principal, de modo que ambas partes pueden lucirse por separado. El collar mide 5 por 1,5 por 0,4 cm.
