- The necklace is mainly handcrafted, using the casting method in some parts. To change the gold color, the enameling method is applied. The use of a number of springs provides the possibility of opening and closing for the handcrafted flower inside the necklace. Various parts of the necklace are designed to be attached to other parts, making the necklace a unique piece of jewelry that can be worn in different shapes.
- Design Challenge
- Designing and crafting each section of this multi-functional necklace required precision to achieve accuracy in dimensions for a perfect fit. Locks had to be matched to several parts, with a dimension sensitivity less than a micrometer. For enameling, it was divided into eighty pieces, facing difficulties due to the curves and the large size. To maintain the spinning mechanism of the ballerina, the ribbon size needed precise calculation. The mechanically blooming flower was crafted with silver several times to achieve a smooth mechanism.
