Lu'itau o le Mamanu
The hardest part of the Notre Dame design was translating the intricate aerial view of the historic Notre Dame church into a wearable piece while preserving its architectural essence.

Balancing historical inspiration with modern production possibilities required meticulous craftsmanship and innovative problem solving.

The Bird's Eye Collection was inspired by historical architectural plans. Research showed that many iconic structures follow the golden ratio, creating a strong visual impact. This study explored how symmetry and proportion shape aesthetics. Using historical analysis and visual studies, tools like architectural blueprints, aerial imagery, and design software were used. Expert insights helped transform architectural beauty into timeless jewelry.
