About Reflection Belarritakoak
Reflection asimetrikoak diren belarritako pare bat da, berrerabilitako 18 kilateko urre zurizkoa. Urrea alanbre bihurtu da belarritako nagusiaren gorputza osatzeko. Ezkerreko belarritako handiagoa belarriaren inguruan kakotzen da, eta eskuinekoa, berriz, larako txiki bat da. Zintzilikario-atal bereizi bat edozein belarritakotan lot daiteke, edo kate batean sartu eta zintzilikario gisa eraman. Zafiroak eta diamanteak eskuz jarrita daude, pikor-muntaketa eta bisel-muntaketa erabiliz. Diseinuaren inspirazioa uretan bere isla ikusten duen txori bat da, baita erakusten den aldearen eta ezkutuan gordetzen den aldearen arteko kontrastea ere.

- Research
- Following my initial image of bird on a branch viewing reflection I spent time researching bird image and reflection in water and how what’s seen is it a mirror image . I spent days re sketching the image to its basic wire form and from their transformed the initial shape using cad cam and by stretching the shape it took on a hook shape which inspired the hook design around the ear with the reflection part progression to a removable drop .Methods included sketching, layout tracing , hand rendering and cad cam with the making using hand craftsmanship.
- Inspiration
- Originally based on a bird viewing its own reflection in the water
we do not always see the perfect reflection of ourselves.
I wanted to design based on the the side we show and the side we keep hidden.The right earring is flamboyant were the left is more subtle - Project Duration
