About Ripples Set Bizhuterish

Ripples është një set bizhuterish që përfshin një gjerdan dhe një palë vathë. Seti është prodhuar me ar 18K, xhadeit dhe diamante. Xhadeiti është prerë në mënyrë që të zbulojë përfshirje natyrore që ngjajnë me bimë ujore të shikuara nën ujë. Gjithsej 189 diamante të prera në formë princeshe janë vendosur përgjatë njërës anë, në mënyrë që shtresat të imitojnë valë që zgjerohen nga qendra drejt jashtë. Gjerdani është ndërtuar rreth një tubi të zbrazët prej ari që përkulet lehtë dhe mban peshën të ulët. Pesë shtresa ndjekin lakimet e trupit për një veshje komode. Dizajni është frymëzuar nga një pellg pranveror i prekur nga era.

Unique Properties
This set was made with specially cut jadeite unlike no other. These unique inclusions decorate the gem, like flowing plants in a drop of water. A total of 189 princess cut diamonds with slotted inner edges make up the ripples. It mimics the slow expansion of waves from the inside out. The necklace was made in one-piece molding stretchy hollow gold to minimize the weight. Taking ergonomics into account, it was built on five different layers to embrace the body curvatures.
Dimensions & Packaging
Necklace: Width 150 mm x Depth 12 mm x Height 157 mm
Earrings: Width 60 mm x Depth 7 mm X Height 30 mm

Production Technology
This set is made with 18K gold, jadeites, and diamonds. The central structure is a hollow gold tube that was specially made with some bending ability to minimize the weight of the necklace. The diamonds were slotted at one side to create a really thin inner layer and a regular-sized outer layer. It is made to mimic the ripple
s expansion. For the pair of earrings, each layer of the moon-shaped piece can be wiggled in which to maximize the luster of diamonds.
Design Challenge
The challenge of this project is to make a seemingly perfect circle to hug the curvature human body. The shape of the circle was carefully tuned to lay naturally on different body types. And each layer of diamond waves won't cause any discomfort to the wearer.
Research
As the market flood with people who seek the perfect gem, those gems with inclusions often being regarded as flawed products. It is not a common practice to cut jadeite with inclusions into a cabochon cut. As a designer, I set out to bring the natural beauty of the gems into the spotlight. The project started by looking for raw jadeite with inclusions, then cutting the raw material into the proper shapes and sizes. The result is promising as shown in the image.
Inspiration
The wind rises and the water ripples
The wind wrinkles the still water surface and blurs the aquatic plants underneath.
This image of a beautiful pond in spring inspired the ripple series. The beauty of nature is abstracted into this piece of jewelry.
Project Duration
The project was designed in March 2021 in Kunming and finished in November 2021 in Kunming.
Operation Flow
This is a wearable piece of art that acts as a necklace and earrings.
