About Astrifer Zanno

Astrifer se yon pè zanno ki fèt ak bèl pèl dlo dous natirèl ak zirkonya kibik. Konsepsyon an kache konektè metal yo, kidonk pèl yo ak pyè yo sanble y ap flote ozalantou zòrèy la. Estrikti prensipal la fèt an ajan S925 e li poli pou l gen yon fini miwa. Twa twou nan wotè diferan pèmèt moun k ap pote l la chwazi pozisyon ki pi bon pou fòm ak gwosè zòrèy li, pou yon ajisteman ki solid e konfòtab. Yon triple kouch plakaj nikèl, plakaj lò epè ak yon sele nano amelyore rezistans kont izi ak dekolorasyon.

Unique Properties: Astrifer, a pair of pearl earrings, makes an innovation to conceal metal connectors, which allows natural freshwater pearls and cubic zirconia to encircle the earlobe like stars, giving a light, floating visual effect. Through a minimalist design language, it liberates pearls from traditional formal contexts and seamlessly blends them into modern living scenarios while endowing the wearer with understated yet refined elegance.

Production Technology: Natural freshwater pearls and premium cubic zirconia are used for a dynamic, brilliant aesthetic. The main structure made from S925 silver ensures structural stability and wearing comfort, and undergoes a polishing process for a mirror finish to achieve a dynamic play of light and shadow. A triple layer technique, consisting of nickel plating, thick genuine gold plating, and nano sealing, significantly improves resistance to wear and discoloration, enabling the product to remain new over time.
Design Challenge: The core challenge was how to achieve a floating visual effect through a minimalist structure while concealing metal connectors. Astrifer innovatively adopts a bent structure, as well as three holes varying in height. This ensures a secure fit, and supports precise adjustment based on earlobe shapes and sizes, seamlessly concealing metal connectors and allowing pearls and cubic zirconia to appear as if floating around the ear.
Research: Considering that the pearljewelry market is increasingly dominated by young consumers, the design team has been dedicated to expanding the application of pearl jewelry from traditional socializing to daily living by balancing aesthetic appeal, wearing comfort, and practical functionality. Guided by the idea of less is more, Astrifer innovates a floating design, exquisite, dynamic, and unique with a sense of lightness, catering to working professionals and users who prefer understated elegance.
Inspiration: As the designer paused before the glass facade of a shopping mall, she noticed how the streetlights reflected on the face of a mannequin, where the glimmering spots were like the finishing highlights of an oil painting and the reflections flickered like scattered stars. From that fleeting moment, Astrifer features cubic zirconia and pearls to symbolize dazzling sparkles and gentle reflections. Through a scattered arrangement and a floating form, it evokes the enchantment of the urban nightscape.
Project Duration: The project started in Shanghai, China in January, 2024, and completed in April, 2024.
Operation Flow: Astrifer comes with three holes varying in height, allowing wearers to flexibly select based on their earlobe shapes and sizes. This thoughtful design ensures a snug yet comfortable fit, and enables metal connectors to be perfectly concealed behind the ear. As a result, the product can present an elegantly floating visual effect for every wearer, minimalist and dynamic
