The Design

About Align Peratra Vault

Ny fanangonana dia maka aingam-panahy avy amin'ny lavaka fidinana rano, fantatra amin'ny anarana hoe Kolam any Kerala. Ny bika geometrika sy ny dingana milanjalanja dia mitahiry rano izay maneho ny hamandoina maitso manodidina azy. Ny endrika dia mampiasa tsipika madio sy mahery izay mihodina manodidina ny vato sarobidy labradorite endrika tsilindra malama. Ny labradorite dia nampiasaina eto mba haneho ny rano.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The Align collection is inspired by the architecture and details of Kolam, the pond or step well in Kerala, is known for its geometric layout and symmetric steps leading to water reflecting the lush greenery of its surroundings.
Dimensions & Packaging: Overall dimension 27mm x 25mm x 8mm
Labradorite stone size 6mm dia x 25mm
Tags: jewelry design, geometry, minimalism, art deco, modern
Production Technology: The base metal is brass with 18k gold plating with a cylinder shaped labradorite stone. The design was sketched and drafted on CorelDraw. After creating the technical sheet, it was sent to the factory for 3D making and sampling.
Design Challenge: The concept was meant to be for my launch collection for the brand and the most difficult part of the process was to decide the brand language and aesthetic I wanted to portray. However, since I love geometry, and that is my stronger perspective, I decided to go with a concept that best describes my style as a Designer.
Research: The ring is from the Align collection, which is the launch collection for my Jewelry brand under the label Harsha Ambady. The most time consuming part of the process was to decide the brand language and decide the concept for the first collection. I wanted to incorporate a collection that speaks of my roots. I did a little research on Kerala Architecture and decided to use stepwells as my concept as it is quite an interesting approach.
Inspiration: As a Designer, I have always had an inclination towards geometry and modern forms. This design is inspired from the stepwells found in Kerala, India. The straight, bold lines is the prominent feature. The use of the cylindrical labradorite stone enhances the metal.
Project Duration: Oct-Nov 2023 in Thrissur, Kerala, India
Operation Flow: Wired metal design holding the custom cut cylinder labradorite stone
Handcrafted in Brass with 18k Gold plating.
