About Elysium Figurinë Dekorative

Teksti i librit: Elysium është një figurinë dekorative që paraqet një kolibri duke pirë nektar nga një lule. Figurina është prej argjendi dhe e zbukuruar me 1848 gurë të çmuar të prodhuar në laborator. Elysium përbëhet nga 31 pjesë unike dhe ka përmasa 116 mm me 116 mm me 165 mm. Për formimin e një guaske të zbrazët me trashësi metalike prej 0.35 mm u përdorën një rrjedhë pune e kompjuterizuar, printimi tredimensional dhe një metodë e patentuar derdhjeje të drejtpërdrejtë. Zogu takohet me kërcellin në një pikë të vetme, prandaj qendra e masës u llogarit me kujdes të veçantë. Kërcelli shfaq zona shkatërrimi me finiturë të zezë, duke evokuar ekuilibrin e brishtë të natyrës.

Unique Properties: The main purpose of the project is to show the perspectives of lab-grown diamonds and 3D printing in the sphere of luxury jewelry. It shows a hummingbird drinking nectar as a symbol of nature and its balance. The stand, on the other hand, has zones of destruction with a dramatic black finish and looks as if it might break any minute. The question is, how long will the flower last, keeping its balance with the stem and feeding the bird on its nectar?
Dimensions & Packaging: 116 mm x 116 mm x 165 mm.
It consists of 31 unique parts.
There are 1848 gems.
The thickness of metal is 0.35mm.

Production Technology: The figurine was modelled using mathematical computations and a fully computerised workflow. It consists of 31 unique parts.

To realize the project, a 3D printer was upgraded with its resolution increased up to 5 microns.

The patented technology of direct casting enabled accurate shape geometry and plasticity, and allowed to create an item with the thickness of metal at 0.35mm.

This model is made of silver with lab-grown gemstones. The total weight including the ballast is 110 grams.

Design trivia — the figurine of the bird has only one point of contact with the stem.
Design Challenge: One of the tasks of the project was to demonstrate the possibility of a technology that significantly saves precious metal and allows to realize the forms created by the designer. This is an example of how designer invented technology to implement his ideas, rather than adjusting to the limitations of existing technology.
Research: Our goal was to create the shell that is unlimited in design and to significantly reduce the amount of precious material that we used for the project. We were able to modify the traditional approach to jewelry-making process and create something brand-new. The figure, printed with an accuracy of 10 microns and a shell thickness of 0.35 mm, is a demonstration of the possibilities of our patented technology. It’s hollow, it’s 3-d printed using burned materials, and it’s produced with the help of direct casting. The project took more than 2 years to complete.
Inspiration: The design is a call out to people who love art, humanity and the world. A hummingbird has become the symbol of the brand’s way of thinking — it is as light as hollow jewelry and as fragile as the planet’s health.
Project Duration: The project started in 2018 and was completed in August 2019. In September 2019 it was presented at the Vicenzaoro International Jewelry Show - Vicenzaoro
Operation Flow: One of the difficult engineering tasks was to determine the center of mass of the composition. To achieve realistic bird flight, only one connection point had to be created between the hummingbird and the flower stem. The collapsed stem construction (in the silver figurine) adds the fragility of this balance.
