About Reflection Ouerréng
Reflection ass e Puer asymmetresch Ouerréng aus recycléiertem 18-Karat Wäissgold. D'Gold gëtt an Drot gezunn, fir de Kierper vum Haaptouerrank ze formen. De méi groussen lénken Ouerrank hänkt ronderëm d'Ouer, während de rietsen Ouerrank e klengen Ouerstécker ass. Eng separat Hänger-Sektioun kann un all Ouerrank befestegt oder op eng Ketten opgezunn a wéi en Unhänger gedroe ginn. Saphiren an Diamanten sinn an der Hand a Grain-Fassung an an Zargenfassung gesat. Den Design ass inspiréiert vun engem Vull, deen seng eege Spigelung am Waasser kuckt, a vum Kontrast tëscht der Säit, déi gewise gëtt, an der Säit, déi verstoppt bleift.

- Research
- Following my initial image of bird on a branch viewing reflection I spent time researching bird image and reflection in water and how what’s seen is it a mirror image . I spent days re sketching the image to its basic wire form and from their transformed the initial shape using cad cam and by stretching the shape it took on a hook shape which inspired the hook design around the ear with the reflection part progression to a removable drop .Methods included sketching, layout tracing , hand rendering and cad cam with the making using hand craftsmanship.
- Inspiration
- Originally based on a bird viewing its own reflection in the water
we do not always see the perfect reflection of ourselves.
I wanted to design based on the the side we show and the side we keep hidden.The right earring is flamboyant were the left is more subtle - Project Duration
