The Design

About Van Gogh's Sunflowers Earrings

Van Gogh's Sunnebloeiers is in stel hânmakke earrings ynspirearre troch in stillibben skildering fan sinneblommen. De earrings binne makke fan 18 karaat goud en beset mei natuerlike sitrinen en giele diamanten yn kastfettings. Ferskate tinten fan giele sitrine herskeppe de kleuren fan it skilderij. De edelstiennen oerlaapje elkoar en soargje foar in trijediminsjonaal effekt, gelyk oan de laachjes fan in blom. In matte ôfwurking mei fine linen stelt de blêden foar, wylst in poليstke ôfwurking de tûken útbyldet. De stoere foarm jout it ûntwerp in skulptueraal foarkommen.

Unique Properties
Van Gogh’s sunflowers is considered innovative by the use of the yellow spectrum. The sunflower painting are perfectly materialized in the many yellow hues of citrines, the earring innovates by being very colorful using only shades of yellow. The gemstones overlap each other creating a 3D effect seen in flowers and their many layers. A matte finish with lines represents the leaves while a polished finish is used to represent the branches. Its bold shape and its characteristic of making layers of gemstones makes it a work of art.

Persistent search for different shades of citrine for the different shades of yellow of Van Gogh sunflowers. Gemstones "welded" over gemstones to show the layers of flowers, forming a 3D jewelry. Matte finish with lines to represent the leaves and polished finish to represent the branches.
Research
After extensive research on Van Gogh's paintings (there are almost 2000 works), the painting was chosen that would be the inspiration for the design. Then research was carried out on the painted tree (understanding of what the painter saw to be inspired). Realized the ideal design of the piece and choice of the ideal materials for execution.
