About Crosscut Cabouchon 주얼리 컬렉션
크로스컷 카보숑(Crosscut Cabouchon)은 브로치, 반지, 귀걸이로 구성된 주얼리 컬렉션이다. 호주에서 윤리적으로 채굴된 오팔이 대담한 색채의 세팅 속에 자리한다. 인테리어 자재의 자투리에서 나온 코리안(Corian)을 손으로 조각하고, 노트북 케이스에서 재활용한 알루미늄에 아노다이징 처리를 하여 색을 더했다. 앤티크 주얼리에서 재활용한 금과 은은 전통 금세공 기법으로 가공되었다. 정밀하게 조절된 열을 이용해 접착제 없이 보석을 코리안에 직접 세팅할 수 있다. 이 컬렉션은 착용자에게 고전적인 보석을 새로운 시각으로 바라보도록 초대한다.

- Production Technology
- Corian from interior offcuts, was individually carved by hand to serve the design. Aluminium recycled from laptop cases, was anodized individually to achieve the effect. Gold and silver recycled from estate jewellery, were fabricated with traditional goldsmith skills. Ethically mined opals from Australia, were customized accordingly. At a later stage, utilizing Corian's property under controlled heat had given the possibility of setting gems in Corian directly without additional adhesive support.
- Design Challenge
- Transferring uncommon material combination with an understandable design language into wearable jewellery is the first challenge.
Upcycling Corian offcuts and aluminium requires considerable amount of design adjustment and prototype experiment.
At its later stage, setting gems into Corian directly without adhesive or other support is an innovation for this collection which was supported significantly with both theoretical and practical researches. - Research
- Design analysis of futuristic architecture had been carried through both digital and physical means. Months of experiments with academic support has provided stable production, particularly in aluminium anodizing and innovative setting techniques with Corian. First-hand interviews and second-hand researches have provided understanding of both ethical opal mining practice in Australia and cutting techniques in depth.
- Inspiration
- This collection comes from a mind that is endlessly fascinated by structures. Futuristic architecture has played a significant role in the inspiration. Corian from interior offcuts, aluminium from laptop cases, precious metals from estate jewellery and ethically sourced gems, connected together with both traditional carving skills and innovative setting techniques, have formed the DNA of this series.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2018 in London and finished in June 2019 in London, and was exhibited in International Jewellery London 2019, was awarded with Best Bright Young Gem in September 2019.
- Operation Flow
- The contrast of the jewellery collection comes from its unusual material combination, however, with the thoughtful design and techniques, pieces have achieved harmony: colourful, light-weighted, in an ethical and sustainable manner. Crosscut Cabouchon invites its wearers to see classic gemstones in a different light.
