About Safety Pin Anillo

Safety Pin es un anillo con forma de imperdible plenamente funcional. El anillo se apoya sobre tres de los dedos de quien lo lleva y también puede utilizarse como broche, colgante o alfiler. Safety Pin está realizado en oro amarillo de 18 quilates y engastado con gemas multicolores de 2,09 quilates, con un peso total de 14,40 gramos. Se preparó un modelo 3D, luego se imprimió un prototipo en cera y se fundió en oro. La fundición se terminó a mano y se pulió. Las gemas se fijaron en su lugar y, a continuación, se unieron las piezas. El diseño busca mantenerse ligero, cómodo de llevar y desenfadado.

Production Technology: Developed in the 3D Matrix program for the jewellery industry based on the Rhinoceros program, a 3D model was created. After the safety pin were grown by prototyping on a 3D printer from wax, the cast was made in gold. They were processed by hand and polished with jewellery threads, for the perfect shine of the gems and showing their cut, clarity and colour. After that, precious stones were fixed into the base product and only then the parts were connected into the final figurines.
Design Challenge: The number one challenge is to combine the design of the piece with its technical side while maintaining it lightweight, wearable and ergonomic.
Research: Traditionally, jewellers have created static pieces for thousands of years. By adding movement to the jewellery I allow our pieces to come alive, inspired by the beauty of magic and nature. As a jeweller, my concept is to find ways to introduce kinetic effects and hidden secrets that are a unique joy to own.
Inspiration: Invoking the magical wonderment of childhood, the Games collection fuses the fun with the fine. With their emphasis on actual play and irreverent references each piece has the dual purpose of encouraging daydreaming and lighthearted games
Project Duration: The project started in January 2021 in London and finished in January 2022 in London. The overall process of production, improvements and quality check took about one year. These ring have never been exhibited before.
Operation Flow: A Multifunctional Safety Pin ring can be transformed in to brooch, pendant or pin. Also, it could be stylised and worn on many occasions with additional charms.
