The Design

About Happiness Bularreko orratza, Zintzilikarioa

Zoriona brotxe gisa edo zintzilikario gisa eraman daitekeen bitxi bat da. Diseinuak sorbeltza (mika) bat bambuaren ondoan erakusten du, ekialdeko kulturan zorte onarekin eta izaera nobleaarekin lotutako bi motibo. Sorbeltza cloisonné teknika tradizionalarekin egina dago, hegaziari kolore eta ehundura aberatsak ematen dizkiona. Bambua urrez eta zilarrez egina dago, eta diamante eta esmeraldaz apainduta dago. Urrats bakoitza eskuz osatzen da, hari-lana, beiraztatzea, tenperatura altuan behin eta berriz egostea eta leuntzea barne. Asmoa artisautza tradizionala bitxigintza modernora ekartzea da.

Production Technology: The magpie cloisonne process used by this work is very complicated, need after cutting, carving, tinsel, silver inlay, coated with glaze, high temperature, grinding, etc more than ten working procedure, to do work in 800 - degree firing 20-30 times, can obtain the beautiful color, and these should be done purely manual. Due to the uncertainty of handwork, the success rate of a perfect cloisonne is not high, which is all the more precious in today's speed seeking industrial age.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge of this design is to break through the tradition and combine the cloisonne craftsmanship originally applied to the utensils with gold and gemstones to make the design a unique piece of jewelry.
Research: Because the craftsmanship of Cloisonne uses copper as the inner bottom tire, in order to make the blue and green more vivid, it can experiment with silver tires. So the artist tried to adjust during the production process and successfully got more beautiful colors.
Inspiration: As a bird that symbolizes auspiciousness, it is said that seeing a magpie means something good will happen. Bamboo is a very important plant in oriental culture, symbolizing noble and great character. The overall design is very oriental.

The bamboo behind it is gold and silver colour, inlaid with diamonds and emeralds, making the whole design more gorgeous.
