About Tangram Sieradencollectie

Tangram is een sieradencollectie bestaande uit zeven losse hangers en kettingaccessoires. De collectie biedt flexibele draagmogelijkheden. Elke hanger kan afzonderlijk worden gedragen of via de kettingaccessoires aan andere hangers worden verbonden, zodat de drager gevarieerde vormen kan creëren. De zeven kleuren volgen de kleuren van de regenboog. Het ontwerp is geïnspireerd op tangram, een traditioneel Aziatisch legpuzzelspel van zeven stukken. De onderdelen zijn gemaakt van 18k goud, waarbij 3D-printen wordt gecombineerd met handgemaakt emaillewerk. De oppervlaktelijnen en textuur die door het 3D-printen ontstaan, blijven behouden en worden gecombineerd met gekleurd email.
