The Design

About Blue Daisy Večnamenski Obesek

Daisy's so sestavljene rože z dvema cvetjema, združenima v eno, notranji del in zunanji venčni del cvetja. Simbolizira preplet dveh, ki predstavljata resnično ljubezen ali končno vez. Oblika se zlije v edinstvenost marjetice, ki uporabniku omogoča, da nosi modro marjetico na več načinov. Izbira modrih safirjev za cvetne liste je poudarjanje navdiha za upanje, željo in ljubezen. Rumeni safirji, izbrani za osrednji cvetni listič, pritegnejo uporabnika do občutka radosti in ponosa, ki daje uporabniku popolno vedrino in zaupanje v izkazovanju njegove elegance.

Production Technology: Number of sketches were made for design elements such as size, shape, arrangement and practicality. I also used clay and paper cut to assist me better. Discussions between manufacturer, checking result or progress at every stage was utmost important for accuracy, good workmanship and common understanding.
Design Challenge: The most challenging was the technical part of the connector and hook whereby it has to be practical, and yet unnoticeable. Couple of trial and errors made and communication to manufacturer also has taken up some time.
Research: Firstly, to check the characteristic of the flower such as the petals, colors and composites. Actual flowers and pictures were gathered. Then, ratio and size of the flower was taken. Multiple sketches were made in order to translate it into jewelry. Other than basic tools, clay was used for initial concept and changes. It then translated into wax carving as a model before fabricated it to the shapes and form. Technical part such as size, weight, hook, tail and flexibility were also tested to ensure meeting the versatility yet modelling blue daisy without compromising the practicality.
Inspiration: The inspiration was from blue daisy flower which the color is rare, unique and mystic in compare to pink or peach daisies. Imagined the daisy is flourishing and crawling, therefore, the curve was made to create a softer approach pendant. There are three separate parts. First, just only wear the bail for casual and simplicity. Second, choose one daisy as an add-on to hook on the bail. Third wear all together. The pendant was created for flexibility and different outcomes.
Project Duration: This piece started in June 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and ended August 2018.
Operation Flow: Blue Daisy is meant for multifunctional or interchangeable. From casual to more luxury feel at different occasions. It is very simple to operate. Just hook onto one another from a tiny tail hidden behind. No pressure is needed. It is safe to wear as the tail was designed with the flow of the outer shape with certain length requirement. To remove simply follow the flow to unhook.
