About Tangram Smyckekollektion

Book Text: Tangram är en smyckekollektion bestående av sju enskilda hängen och kedjetillbehör. Kollektionen erbjuder flexibla sätt att bäras. Varje hänge kan bäras ensamt eller kopplas samman med andra hängen via kedjetillbehören, så att bäraren kan skapa varierande former. De sju färgerna följer regnbågens färger. Designen är inspirerad av tangram, ett traditionellt asiatiskt pusselspel med sju bitar. Delarna är tillverkade av 18k guld, och 3D-printing kombineras med handgjort emaljarbete. Ytlinjerna och strukturen som skapas genom 3D-printing bevaras och matchas med färgad emalj.
