About Tangram ジュエリーコレクション

「タングラム」は、7つのペンダントとチェーンアクセサリーで構成されたジュエリーコレクションです。多彩な着用方法を楽しめるのが特徴で、各ペンダントは単体で身に着けることも、チェーンアクセサリーで他のペンダントとつなげることもでき、装う人が自由に多様な形を生み出せます。7つの色彩は虹の色に倣っています。デザインの着想源は、7つのピースからなるアジアの伝統的なパズル玩具「タングラム」です。各ピースは18金で作られ、3Dプリンティングとエナメルの手仕事を融合させています。3Dプリンティングによって生まれた表面のラインとテクスチャーをあえて残し、色鮮やかなエナメルと調和させました。
