About Reflection कर्णाभरणे

रिफ्लेक्शन् इति पुनःप्रयुक्तस्य अष्टादशकैरट्-श्वेतसुवर्णस्य निर्मितम् असममितं कर्णाभरणयुगलम् अस्ति। सुवर्णं तारेषु आकृष्य मुख्यकर्णाभरणस्य शरीरं निर्मीयते। बृहत्तरं वामकर्णाभरणं कर्णं परितः अङ्कुशाकारेण लम्बते, दक्षिणकर्णाभरणं तु लघु कीलकरूपम् अस्ति। पृथक् लम्बमानः भागः कस्मिंश्चिदपि कर्णाभरणे संयोजयितुं शक्यते, अथवा शृङ्खलायां प्रवेश्य लम्बकरूपेण धारयितुं शक्यते। नीलमणयः हीरकाश्च हस्तेन ग्रेन्-सेट्-रीत्या बेज़ल्-सेट्-रीत्या च स्थापिताः। जले स्वप्रतिबिम्बं पश्यतः पक्षिणः प्रेरणया, दर्शितपार्श्वस्य गुप्तपार्श्वस्य च वैषम्येण च इदं परिकल्पनं प्रेरितम् अस्ति।

Design Challenge: Production possibilities with gemstone availability.The wire drawing and formation and balance of the earring in ear.
Research: Following my initial image of bird on a branch viewing reflection I spent time researching bird image and reflection in water and how what’s seen is it a mirror image . I spent days re sketching the image to its basic wire form and from their transformed the initial shape using cad cam and by stretching the shape it took on a hook shape which inspired the hook design around the ear with the reflection part progression to a removable drop .Methods included sketching, layout tracing , hand rendering and cad cam with the making using hand craftsmanship.
Inspiration: Originally based on a bird viewing its own reflection in the water
we do not always see the perfect reflection of ourselves.
I wanted to design based on the the side we show and the side we keep hidden.The right earring is flamboyant were the left is more subtle
Project Duration: The project started in October 2021 in York finished in February 2022 in York and was exhibited in London March 2022.
Operation Flow: The object can be handled easily with the left earring that hooks easily around the ear and with a right hand stud fitted easily with pin through eat .The drop section can easily hook on to either earring or slide on to a chain and worn as a necklace.
