Production Technology: For the production of this design it uses Titanium 3D printing machine, metal casting, stone-setting, goldsmith, sandblaster. Using material such as Titanium, yellow gold, diamond or lab-grown diamond.
Design Challenge: Challenges of making this bracelet. First, Titanium is very hard to sand and to polish, secondly is titanium can't soldering under oxygen environments which we invented a tool to push away oxygen. Thirdly, to connect all the parts we must invent a kind of joint to fill in. Fourthly, change titanium to black color, this remains a secret process. Finally was making of the clasp, the clasp must be easy operated, safe enough not fallout during wearing them, and must not be visualize by other person easily.
Research: We didn't do such research.
Inspiration: It first came up with an idea, what if a goldsmith's bracelet will be? It must be convenient for work, must be tough, simple but different. Or, should it be a bracelet or bangle? What if both? So designer broke a design of a traditional bracelet, and form it into an bangle like design, and used titanium to give a strength.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2021 and finished in May 2022 in Shenzhen.
Operation Flow: The bracelet is very smooth and fluid by its links designed by us and tested. On one link there's the hidden clasp, before wearing it, connect the two part into one hole, and role into certain angle to fill in, when to take off, simply turn to the angle, pull the button and it will automatically come off.
