Het Ontwerp

Over 18K Gold Brillen

Romano Rozay brillen van 18-karaats rosé en goud worden in de VS met de hand vervaardigd volgens traditionele goudsmeedtechnieken. Het ontwerp integreert sieradenmakerij met constructie-engineering om een geometrie te definiëren die aansluit op de gezichtsstructuur en stabiliteit tijdens het dragen biedt. Elk onderdeel wordt individueel gevormd, gemonteerd en met de hand afgewerkt. Het totale systeem wordt bepaald door materiaalgedrag, fabricagenauwkeurigheid en structurele prestaties.

White spring gold elements are incorporated in temples and connections for enhanced resilience and flexibility. Each step is performed manually, without CNC machines or mass production techniques. One of a kind production, non reproducible
Ontwerpuitdaging: This project was developed through practice based design research focused on creating fully handcrafted luxury eyewear. The objective was to combine structural durability, ergonomic comfort, and aesthetic excellence. The methodology included prototyping, material testing, custom tool development, and repeated manual adjustments. Data was collected through physical testing, wear trials, and long term use evaluation. The result is a unique, reliable, and refined product integrating engineering precision with traditional goldsmith craftsmanship
Onderzoek: The project was developed and handcrafted around 2016 in New York City, USA. The design and production were carried out after working hours in a professional jewelry workshop at Greenwich St. Jewelers. Custom-made tools and specialized jigs were created for specific production processes. All stages, including concept development, metalwork, assembly, setting, and finishing, were performed manually by the designer using traditional goldsmith techniques and professional workshop equipment
Inspiratie: Inspired by classical jewelry forms and traditional goldsmithing techniques, reimagined as wearable sculpture. The design draws from the language of fine jewelry; its balance, symmetry, and respect for the human form, translating these principles into eyewear crafted entirely from precious metal.
