About Elysian 목걸이

엘리시안은 11 x 7mm의 선명한 그린 투어말린과 패싯 컷 민물진주를 메인 피스로 장식한 750 옐로우 골드 목걸이입니다. 두꺼운 골드 라운드 와이어로 제작된 이 목걸이는 수공예 클래스프를 갖추고 있습니다. 아르누보에서 영감을 받은 메인 피스는 정교하게 직조된 골드 와이어를 사용하여 투어말린 주변에 날개 형태의 요소들을 연출합니다. 8mm 진주에 적용된 새로운 패싯 기법은 진주 고유의 광채를 한층 돋보이게 합니다. 이 혁신적인 작품은 자연의 아름다움과 인간의 장인정신을 담아냅니다.

Production Technology: Elysian is crafted using 750 yellow gold, with a combination of round wire and finely woven wire for the central piece. The tourmaline is bezel-set with gold wire loops at each corner, and the freshwater pearl is faceted using a novel technique that requires a thick, flawless nacre layer.

The necklace "Elysian" was awarded a prize money at the LIV NRW (Germany) competition "Schmuckvisionen".
Design Challenge: The main challenge was developing the faceting technique for pearls and ensuring the intricate wire design could securely hold the gemstones. Overcoming these challenges required meticulous craftsmanship and innovative thinking.
Research: The research focused on incorporating innovative faceting techniques for pearls and exploring intricate wire designs inspired by Art Nouveau. The goal was to create a unique piece that combines classic elegance with modern craftsmanship. The findings demonstrate the potential for new techniques in enhancing the natural beauty of pearls.
Inspiration: The inspiration for Elysian came from the desire to combine timeless elegance with innovative craftsmanship. The tourmaline's vibrant green and the faceted pearl symbolize nature's beauty, while the intricate gold wire design reflects the delicacy and fluidity of Art Nouveau. This piece aims to evoke a sense of wonder and sophistication.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2024 and was completed in July 2024 in Frankfurt/Main.
Operation Flow: The necklace can be securely fastened with the handcrafted clasp. The central piece, with its vibrant tourmaline and faceted pearl, catches the eye and adds elegance to any outfit.
