Part of the series uses 18K black gold, with black satire, expressing the designer's thinking about "desire for life ".
Production Technology: 1, Stereo Sculpture Craft:
The combination of art sculpture and jewelry make jewelry line smooth and full of tension. The whole series boldly use the semi-realistic method, using wax molds to carve out human bones, ribs and other skeletal shapes and then pouring gold to make jewelry.

Design Challenge: 1, arouse the viewer's emotional resonance
In thinking about the theme of "desire in life ", designers deliberated and tried repeatedly about design style, styling and use of materials. Finally, the black gold material was adopted, with difficult toning process.
2,The shape of the bones
Design is not completely realistic. The more important is to take its design elements, reasonably use them in the design. And the appropriate subtraction is the most challenge for designer.
Research: The jewelry design expresses the new trend; Exploration on contemporary art in jewelry design; Study on emotional resonance in jewelry design;Innovative research on 18K metal materials; Study on three-dimensional sculpture technology.
The study found that: The combination of philosophical thinking with jewelry design can elevate jewelry from a single wearing function to an expression of emotional resonance.
In the Bible, God created Eve with one of Adam's ribs and made her a companion for Adam.
Inspiration: The series is inspired by the designer's reflection on the relationship between desire and life.
Wealth and power are represented by ”diamonds" and"gems" while life is represented by "skull,"" sternum" and "ribs". Through the coexistence of three desires, the designer let the wearer think about the relationship between desire and life to reflect on whether you are pursuing unnecessary desires? And have you forgotten the other meanings of life?
