About Van Gogh's Rosebush Kakī Whakapaipai

Ko te Rosebush a Van Gogh he kakī whakapaipai i mahia ā-ringa, i whakaawea e te peita a Vincent van Gogh, arā, ko Rosebush in Blossom. He mea hanga te kakī whakapaipai ki te koura 18 karati me ngā peara biwa pātene o te wai māori. Ka whakamahara mai ngā peara ki ngā āhua porotaka me ngā rerekētanga o te rahi o ngā rōhi kei runga i te kānewhehe. Ka hangaia e te koura ngā manga hei hono i tētahi peara ki tētahi atu. He mea taea te wewete te pito o te kakī whakapaipai, nō reira ka taea te whakarite i te mea ki te wairua me te kakī o te rā. Nā te āhua piko iti ka pai ake te uru o te kakī whakapaipai ki te tinana. Ka tuku te hoahoa i tētahi whakamahinga hou o ngā peara.

Unique Properties
Handmade necklace made with the best raw material. gold 18k and pearls.. Designing a necklace inspired by Van Gogh’s “Rosebush in Blossom” required a different approach. Pearls were a natural choice to represent the rounded shapes and different sizes of the roses on Van Gogh’s canvas. Van Gogh’s branches became gold as they connect pearl to pearl in a complex web of beauty. The necklace’s tip is detachable, allowing the user to match the mood and neckline of the day. This necklace was made for the red carpet.

Design Challenge
The proposal of the necklace defies the conservative standards given to pearls. The idea here is to let go of the classic archetype of pearls and surrender to the spirit of modernity. Gold connects the dots as it recreates Van Gogh’s painting. The necklace's slightly curved shape gives way to the perfect fit; its tip is detachable allowing for *versatility* depending on mood, neckline and cleavage. Rosebush *undoubtedly* has what it takes to turn dullness into glamour.
Research
After extensive research on Van Gogh's paintings (there are almost 2000 works), the painting was chosen that would be the inspiration for the design. Then research was carried out on the painted tree (understanding of what the painter saw to be inspired). Realized the ideal design of the piece and choice of the ideal materials for execution.
