About Happiness 브로치, 펜던트

행복(Happiness)은 브로치 또는 펜던트로 착용할 수 있는 주얼리 작품이다. 디자인은 대나무 옆에 앉은 까치를 표현하는데, 이 두 가지 모티프는 동양 문화에서 길운과 고결한 품성을 상징한다. 까치는 전통 칠보(클루아조네) 기법으로 제작되어 풍부한 색채와 질감을 지닌다. 대나무는 금과 은으로 만들어졌으며 다이아몬드와 에메랄드를 세팅했다. 은선 세공, 유약 채움, 반복적인 고온 소성, 연마 등 모든 공정이 수작업으로 완성되었다. 전통 공예를 현대 주얼리 속으로 이끌어내고자 하는 의도를 담고 있다.

Production Technology: The magpie cloisonne process used by this work is very complicated, need after cutting, carving, tinsel, silver inlay, coated with glaze, high temperature, grinding, etc more than ten working procedure, to do work in 800 - degree firing 20-30 times, can obtain the beautiful color, and these should be done purely manual. Due to the uncertainty of handwork, the success rate of a perfect cloisonne is not high, which is all the more precious in today's speed seeking industrial age.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge of this design is to break through the tradition and combine the cloisonne craftsmanship originally applied to the utensils with gold and gemstones to make the design a unique piece of jewelry.
Research: Because the craftsmanship of Cloisonne uses copper as the inner bottom tire, in order to make the blue and green more vivid, it can experiment with silver tires. So the artist tried to adjust during the production process and successfully got more beautiful colors.
Inspiration: As a bird that symbolizes auspiciousness, it is said that seeing a magpie means something good will happen. Bamboo is a very important plant in oriental culture, symbolizing noble and great character. The overall design is very oriental. The artist used cloisonne to create the magpie, showing the rich colors and textures that make the bird look more vivid. The bamboo behind it is gold and silver colour, inlaid with diamonds and emeralds, making the whole design more gorgeous.
