About Dhvaja Kaklo papuošalas

Dhvaja – tai kaklo papuošalas, kurį galima atverti, kad viduje būtų galima laikyti mažus atminimo daiktus. Forma įkvėpta dhvajos – vieno iš aštuonių budizmo palankumo simbolių, reiškiančio pergalę ir galią įveikti blogį. Kaklo papuošalas pagamintas iš 18 karatų aukso ir užbaigtas veidrodiniu poliravimu bei karoliukų kraštų apdailos technika. Dirbinį sudaro dvi pagrindinės dalys: dekoratyvioji dhvaja ir sandarus konteineris. Švelniai pasukus dhvają, ji atsiskiria nuo grandinėlės, todėl viduje galima laikyti tokius daiktus kaip plaukų sruoga, šventraščiai ar laiškai. Vandeniui atsparus dizainas leidžia papuošalą nešioti ilgą laiką.

Design Challenge
The challenge lies in the intricate and elaborate nature of the original form of the dhvaja, requiring the designer to express it in a minimalist way without losing its essence. In the iterative process, constant decision-making and evaluation were necessary, making it a challenging balance to maintain.
Research
This piece represents a profound exploration of Buddhist culture, auspicious symbols, and personal memorabilia preservation methods. The designer employed modern design approaches, combined with innovative craftsmanship techniques, for prototyping and testing.
Inspiration
The design inspiration for this necklace comes from the dhvaja among the Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism. The designer used modern and simple techniques to create this necklace that can be opened and used to store items. It is typically used to hold items of significance, such as a baby's first hair, umbilical cord, or to store scriptures and letters. The necklace features a waterproof design for long-term wear.
Project Duration
Design Start Time: March 2018
Design Completion Time: July 2018
Operation Flow
This necklace is exquisitely simple. It consists mainly of two parts: a decorative dhvaja and an openable container. Users simply need to gently rotate the dhvaja to detach it from the necklace chain to access or store items. Additionally, the container seals tightly to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the stored items.
The designer hopes to bring a vision of a bright future to everyone by incorporating this auspicious element, where all good wishes lead to victory.
