About Reflection ピアス
「Reflection(リフレクション)」は、再生した18金ホワイトゴールドを用いて制作された左右非対称のピアスです。ゴールドを線に引き伸ばし、メインとなるピアスの本体を形づくっています。大きな左のピアスは耳に沿って掛けるデザインで、右はごく小さなスタッドピアスです。独立したドロップパーツはどちらのピアスにも取り付けられるほか、チェーンに通してペンダントとして身に着けることもできます。サファイアとダイヤモンドは、すべて手作業による爪留め(グレインセッティング)とふくり留め(ベゼルセッティング)で施されています。水面に映る自らの姿を見つめる鳥、そして見せる面と隠された面との対比から着想を得たデザインです。

- 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
