About Mountain Brošas

Kā vēlas dizainers, šī juvelierizstrādājuma rotaslieta sniegs dabas vēsuma pieskārienu cilvēkiem, kuri dzīvo pārpildītās un noslogotās pilsētās, ļaujot viņiem uz brīdi atpūsties. Iedvesmu deva daba, kalni un upes, veidojot tos ar regulārām ģeometriskām formām, virzoties no sarežģītības uz vienkāršību. Izgatavota no 18 karātu baltā zelta, rotāta ar 11,76 ct spineliem un 1,415 ct dimantiem. Spinels katrā gabalā ir unikāls, tāpat kā koki kalnos visi ir atšķirīgi.

Unique Properties: This is a pair of brooches, set with spinels and diamonds in 18k white gold. Transforming nature's irregular into regular to get these traingles, reducing complexity to simplicity. And it is a method that can be applied to the design of different products, simplifying the process of design.

Production Technology: Made of 18k white gold, set with 11.76ct natural spinels and 1.415ct diamonds.
Design Challenge: There are two challenges involved in this process: making sure all gemstones fit into the triangle and keeping the color tones consistent. In addition, spinels are all different shapes. The 3D model of each stone setting had to be made individually, which took a lot of time.
Research: Nature is the best medicine for healing. It's close to us, yet so far away. Work and various trivialities in city life gradually keep us away from nature. It is my hope that when you see this piece of jewelry, it will make you feel a little cooler from nature and allow you to take a break from your busy work and life.
In addition, the research aims to develop a design method that simplifies the design process and is meaningful as well.
Inspiration: I started drawing geometric shapes when I was learning to sketch and also started drawing geometric shapes to illustrate other things. Due to this experience, I enjoy designing with geometric shapes a lot. And always trying to transform irregular objects into regular geometric shapes.
The shapes of mountains and rivers inspired me to use geometric triangles to express them. Mountains, reflected water, and distant mountains combine to create an overlapping effect.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2022 and finished in September 2022 in Zhejiang, China.
Operation Flow: It is a pair of two mirrored brooches, which can be worn individually, or together in various positions on the collar, lapel, or cuff. The two pieces can be rotated and combined in many different ways, providing fun while wearing.
