About Happiness Brosch, Hänge
Lycka är ett smycke som kan bäras som en brosch eller ett hänge. Designen visar en skata bredvid bambu, två motiv som i österländsk kultur förknippas med lycka och ädel karaktär. Skatan är tillverkad med den traditionella cloisonnétekniken, vilket ger fågeln rika färger och texturer. Bambun är gjord av guld och silver och infattad med diamanter och smaragder. Varje steg utförs för hand, inklusive trådarbete, glasering, upprepad bränning vid hög temperatur och slipning. Avsikten är att föra in ett traditionellt hantverk i modern smyckeskonst.

- Inspiration

The bamboo behind it is gold and silver colour, inlaid with diamonds and emeralds, making the whole design more gorgeous.
