About Safety Pin Pete

Safety Pin ni pete iliyoundwa kwa umbo la pini ya usalama inayofanya kazi kikamilifu. Pete hii huvaliwa juu ya vidole vitatu vya mvaaji na pia inaweza kutumika kama broshi, pendanti au pini. Safety Pin imetengenezwa kwa dhahabu ya njano ya karati 18 na kupambwa kwa vito vya rangi mbalimbali vya karati 2.09, ikiwa na uzito wa jumla wa gramu 14.40. Muundo wa 3D uliandaliwa, kisha mfano wa awali wa nta ulichapishwa na kumiminwa kwa dhahabu. Kazi ya umiminaji ilikamilishwa kwa mikono na kung'arishwa. Vito viliwekwa mahali pake, kisha sehemu zote ziliunganishwa. Muundo huu unalenga kubaki mwepesi, rahisi kuvaliwa na wenye mvuto wa kucheza.

Production Technology: Developed in the 3D Matrix program for the jewellery industry based on the Rhinoceros program, a 3D model was created. After the safety pin were grown by prototyping on a 3D printer from wax, the cast was made in gold. They were processed by hand and polished with jewellery threads, for the perfect shine of the gems and showing their cut, clarity and colour. After that, precious stones were fixed into the base product and only then the parts were connected into the final figurines.
Design Challenge: The number one challenge is to combine the design of the piece with its technical side while maintaining it lightweight, wearable and ergonomic.
Research: Traditionally, jewellers have created static pieces for thousands of years. By adding movement to the jewellery I allow our pieces to come alive, inspired by the beauty of magic and nature. As a jeweller, my concept is to find ways to introduce kinetic effects and hidden secrets that are a unique joy to own.
Inspiration: Invoking the magical wonderment of childhood, the Games collection fuses the fun with the fine. With their emphasis on actual play and irreverent references each piece has the dual purpose of encouraging daydreaming and lighthearted games
Project Duration: The project started in January 2021 in London and finished in January 2022 in London. The overall process of production, improvements and quality check took about one year. These ring have never been exhibited before.
Operation Flow: A Multifunctional Safety Pin ring can be transformed in to brooch, pendant or pin. Also, it could be stylised and worn on many occasions with additional charms.
