The Design

About Van Gogh Brincos

Brincos inspirados na Amendoeira em Flor pintada por Van Gogh. A delicadeza dos galhos é reproduzida por delicadas correntes do tipo Cartier que, como os galhos, balançam com o vento. Os vários tons das diferentes gemas, do quase branco ao rosa mais intenso, representam os tons das flores. O cacho de flores desabrochando é representado com diferentes cutstones. Fabricado com ouro 18k, diamantes rosa, morganitas, safiras rosa e turmalinas rosa. Acabamento polido e texturizado. Extremamente leve e com ajuste perfeito. Esta é a chegada da primavera na forma de uma joia.

Production Technology
Earrings in gold 18K with pink turmalines 11,08CT, pink sapphires 4,22CT, morganites 1,00CT and pink diamonds 0,76CT. Matte and polished finish. Textured finish. Cartier-type chains.
Design Challenge
During the search for the idealized materials, some types of gemstones were not located and some cut formats were unavailable. The acquisition of gemstones in other formats and types was carried out and a new design was performed adapting to the materials found. Another challenge was to find stones with the right weight in order to make an earring with 25 gemstons extremely light.
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.
Inspiration
The jewels in this collection were inspired by the works of artist Vincent Van Gogh. The earrings presented were inspired by the "Almond tree in blossom" canvas. The branches are represented by the currents and the different shapes and the gradient in the shades of pink represent the flowers in different phases. Just as a tree has its branches moving with the wind, the earring has balance and delicacy.
