About Core 목걸이

Core는 스리랑카 천연 핑크 사파이어 코어를 보유하고 있는 스위스 Apls의 실리콘 표본 2개로 만든 수제 목걸이입니다. 이 디자인은 녹아내린 듯한 18K 골드 액센트와 18K 골드 체인이 특징입니다. 라운드 브릴리언트 컷 핑크 사파이어 2.5cts는 목걸이의 중심 역할을 하며 마치 보석이 빛을 보기 위해 땅을 깨뜨리는 것처럼 두 개의 실리콘 표본 사이에 공간을 새깁니다. 디자인은 시각적으로 눈에 띄는 방식으로 보석의 탄생 본질을 효과적으로 포착합니다.

Production Technology: The necklace has been handmade using a wax casting technique. The minerals have not been subjected to any color or clarity-enhancing treatment.
The materials are: 18kt gold, pure silicon specimens, and a natural Sri Lankan Pink Sapphire.
Inspiration: Core draws inspiration from the remarkable process by which gemstones are formed. The intense pressure and heat these natural elements undergo give birth to the stunning treasures that captivate our senses. It is this very process that serves as the foundation for the necklace's design.

The centerpiece of the necklace is a breathtaking 2.5cts natural Sri Lankan pink sapphire, which represents the pinnacle of natural beauty that results from this process. This gemstone, like all precious gems, is a true marvel to behold, having slowly grown over time into a coveted treasure that nature offers us.

Complementing this beautiful sapphire are two Silicon specimens representing the earth's crust, from which these gems are born. These specimens were carefully selected for their dark color and rough texture, being a stark contrast to the bright pink and smooth faceting of the sapphire.

Together, these elements create a truly exceptional piece of jewelry that celebrates the remarkable process by which gemstones are formed. The necklace serves as a timeless reminder of the beauty and wonder of the natural world, a treasure to be cherished and admired for years to come.
Project Duration: The project started in 2019 in Switzerland, where I found the two silicon Specimens, later on, in Sri Lanka, I found the pink sapphire, and they all remained in my locker. In 2021, I came up with the design after a conversation with my precious son, who suffers from Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD) level 1, and sometimes feels trapped in his body.
The piece was finished by June 2021.
Operation Flow: The necklace is worn with a detachable gold chain. the locking mechanism allows for the length to be adjusted manually.
