About Fairies Boucles d'oreilles cinétiques

Fairies est une paire de boucles d'oreilles cinétiques inspirée par la dualité du jour et de la nuit. Ce duo asymétrique réunit la Fée du Jour, réalisée en or blanc avec des fleurs serties de diamants et un cœur d'émeraude dissimulé, et la Fée de la Nuit, réalisée en or noirci avec un cœur de rubis, des étoiles de diamants et un croissant de lune. Les deux figurines possèdent des jambes articulées et des visages singuliers. Un modèle 3D a été prototypé en cire puis coulé en or, avant d'être achevé à la main et poli. Au total, 403 pierres précieuses ont été serties avant l'assemblage des différentes pièces. L'ensemble demeure léger et confortable à porter.

Production Technology: Developed in the 3D Matrix program for the jewellery industry based on the Rhinoceros program, a 3D model was created. After the fairies 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, 403 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: This project was inspired by the duality of Day and Night and my sincere belief that all women have something magical about them, just like Fairies. Asymmetric and contrasting, yet with their secrets alike, this duality demonstrates how different and similarly spectacular women can be any time of the day. No matter the appearance or skin tone, age or beliefs, all of us are mesmerising Fairies, gifting our magic to the dearest ones when our hearts are filled with love.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2020 in London and finished in January 2021 in London. The overall process of production, improvements and quality check took about one year. These earrings have never been exhibited before.
Operation Flow: The earrings have multiple wondrous features, such as hidden details, moving legs, ruby and emerald hearts, and different individual faces.
