About The Roaring Lion Choker Distintiv

Il-Choker tar-Roaring Lion jgħaqqad flimkien snajja tradizzjonali u tekniki moderni biex joħloq biċċa skultorali ta' ġojjellerija. Magħmul mid-deheb abjad, il-motiv tal-iljun b'faċċetti tiegħu jinteraġixxi mad-dawl biex isaħħaħ il-fond u d-dimensjoni. Xerieret ta' perli Taħitjani jipprovdu kuntrast, u jibbilanċjaw l-istruttura mal-flwidità. Il-proċess tad-disinn involviet riċerka estensiva fil-kompożizzjoni tal-materjal u fil-faċilità biex jinżamm, u żgura kemm l-impatt viżiv kif ukoll il-kumditá. Aktar minn sempliċi żina, il-choker jirrifletti espressjoni personali permezz ta' forma, tessera u kompożizzjoni.

Production Technology: Each piece has been meticulously crafted in the tradition of fine jewelry making, cut, carved, shaped, soldered, and polished by hand. Diamonds are bezel-set, and crosses were made separately, then pinned and soldered from the back. The pearls have wider drill holes to fit onto the rods. These stainless steel rods pass through the lion’s head, providing stiffness while maintaining flexibility and comfort. After testing various methods, we achieved the perfect balance for Qymira’s performance.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to give a floating feel to a piece that should remain stable on the neck of the artist while she is dancing or playing violin on stage.
Concerning the main piece, filing and polishing each facet to perfection posed a challenge that demanded skill, time and unwavering focus.
Research: The research for The Roaring Lion Choker combined artistic exploration and technical innovation. Our objective was to fuse high jewelry craftsmanship with bold symbolism. We love historical regalia, modern faceting techniques, and material interactions. Using 3D modeling and metal prototyping, we refined the lion’s sculptural form. Giving life and expression to a geometrical mathematical shape. This research pushes design boundaries, blending heritage with avant-garde luxury.
Inspiration: Inspired by the fearless spirit of Qymira, a captivating artist, singer, composer, lyricist and actress. The Roaring Lion Choker embodies strength, artistry, and defiance. It honors her inner lioness, carrying her voice into the universal language of music.
Project Duration: The Project duration last 5 months from ideation to completion. Locations span from New York to Bayonne France and our atelier in Hong Kong.
Operation Flow: The Roaring Lion Choker creates an immediate emotional impact, embodying strength and individuality. The faceted white gold lion’s head commands attention, while Tahitian pearls and white diamonds provide contrast in texture and light. Designed for comfort, its structure contours naturally to the wearer’s neck, ensuring a seamless fit. Beyond adornment, it is a statement, inviting admiration, conversation, and a deep connection between the piece, the wearer, and the audience.
