The Design

About Acacia Hikaw

Ang taga-disenyo ay nabighani sa geometrical na anyo ng isang binhi na ibinigay sa kanya ng kanyang anak na babae at sinimulan niya ang disenyo. Sa kalikasan, walang kumpleto at kumpleto ang lahat ay ang unang maiisip ng isang tao kapag nakita ang pares ng hikaw na ito. Ang singsing ay may makinis at magandang hugis, at ang mga mahalagang bato ay parang binhing lumalabas sa lupa, kumakaway para sa iyong atensyon. Ito ay napaka-kakaiba, ang kalikasan, at siyempre ang alahas.
