About Dandelion Mama

O le Dandelion o se mama na faaosofia mai le foliga o le fugalaau dandelion. O le mama e faia mai i se vaega o lau fuga, ma o lau fuga taitasi e feaveaʻi ni auiliiliga eseese. O nisi o lau fuga ua mimilo, o nisi ua faapipiiina i taimane, ae o isi ua vaneina i laina lelei. O le mea faigaluega ua faia mai i le auro 18 karati i lanu e lua, e faaaogaina ai le tele o metotia lavelave o le faauro. E faaaogaina piʻo ma laina e faaali ai le mamā ma le saʻolotoga. O le vaneina ma taimane e atagia ai le malamalama i le ao ma le po. O le foliga o le fusi ua faia ina ia faafaigofie ai le ofuina o le mama.

Production Technology: I see dandelion as the spirit of freedom and lightness. So I made the ring with curves and lines to symbolize the same spirit. The ring uses two colors of 18ct gold, and using several highly complicated goldsmith technics for finish the product.
Design Challenge: In the making process is the real challenge, there is no short cuts to finish the piece with so many different goldsmithing and settings. But to try on and on until the piece matches the design perfectly.
Research: Observation and sketches have been done and research of all skills of jewelry technics. the dandelion ring is trying to explain the freedom of its spirit, by making a maximum combination such as twisting wires, stretching gold lines and hammering, engravings, different settings, to fulfill the possibilities of jewelry making, and through out the lines pointing to all directions symmbolise all the choices we can have. Just as the dandelion.
Inspiration: After a thorough and closely observation of dandelion, the poetic imagery of it becomes more and more clearer, and that means lights and freedom, two things we need especially at this post-Covid-19 era.
Project Duration: The project was designed in April, 2020 in Shenzhen, China. and finished in August, 2020.
Operation Flow: The dandelion ring is designed to be elegant, eye-catching. The engraving and diamond gives it maximum shining during night and day. and the shape of the ring is made to easy to wear.
