Design Challenge: Production possibilities with gemstone availability.The wire drawing and formation and balance of the earring in ear.
Research: Following my initial image of bird on a branch viewing reflection I spent time researching bird image and reflection in water and how what’s seen is it a mirror image . I spent days re sketching the image to its basic wire form and from their transformed the initial shape using cad cam and by stretching the shape it took on a hook shape which inspired the hook design around the ear with the reflection part progression to a removable drop .Methods included sketching, layout tracing , hand rendering and cad cam with the making using hand craftsmanship.
Inspiration: Originally based on a bird viewing its own reflection in the water
we do not always see the perfect reflection of ourselves.
I wanted to design based on the the side we show and the side we keep hidden.The right earring is flamboyant were the left is more subtle
Project Duration: The project started in October 2021 in York finished in February 2022 in York and was exhibited in London March 2022.
Operation Flow: The object can be handled easily with the left earring that hooks easily around the ear and with a right hand stud fitted easily with pin through eat .The drop section can easily hook on to either earring or slide on to a chain and worn as a necklace.
