Design Challenge
This is a jewel full of details: lines that scratch the metal, imitating the grooves of the leaves. There are galleries all over the necklace to hide the links that give IT a trim. But the big challenges were controlling the colors (a rare combination of salmon pink, intense red and light yellow) and balancing such an asymmetrical design, where harmony and beauty are perceived even without symmetry.
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.
