About Daphne Pang-ipit at Palawit

Ipinapahayag ng pang-ipit na ito ang tema ng kagandahan at pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng kuwento ni Daphne, ang Laurel Nymph ng mitolohiyang Griyego. Dahil hindi ito gaanong kilala sa Tsina, kinakailangang iharap ang kuwento sa angkop na paraan upang maging mauunawaan ng mga manonood na Tsino ang disenyong ito. Upang likhain ang piyesang alahas na ito, isang elemento ay ang dahon ng laurel mula sa kuwento, at ang isa pang elemento ay ang buwan, na itinuturing na simbolo ng pag-ibig sa Tsina. Maaari itong maging pang-ipit o palawit. Ang gitnang bato ay isang 10.745ct rupee red tourmaline, nakalagay sa 18K na puting ginto na may mga diyamante at perlas-ina (mother-of-pearl).

Production Technology: Made of 18K white gold, set with 10.745ct natural rupee red tourmaline, diamond, and mother of pearl.
Design Challenge: The challenge of this process is the expression of the theme. The love story of Daphne is not widely known in China. It is difficult to find a suitable way to express the story and theme for Chinese audiences.

So I chose laurel leaves, which come from the story. I also decided on a moon element, considered a symbol of love in China, to integrate both elements to create this piece of jewelry.
Research: This piece of jewelry expresses the theme of beauty and faith through the love story of Daphne, the Laurel Nymph of Greek mythology. Because it is not well known in China, it is necessary to present the story in a suitable way to make this design understandable to Chinese audiences. So I chose laurel leaves, which come from the story. I also decided on a moon element, considered a symbol of love in China, to integrate both elements to create this piece of jewelry. It can be a brooch or a pendant. The center stone is a 10.745ct rupee red tourmaline, set in 18K white gold with diamonds and mother-of-pearl.
Inspiration: Design inspiration came from the love story, Daphne turned into a laurel tree, expressing beauty and faith in herself. One of the design elements is a laurel leaf, set with diamonds, which whirl around the center stone, just like the moment when Daphne turns into a laurel tree.

When it comes to love, it is naturally associated with the moon in China. Moon has been a symbol of love since ancient times, so another design element is the moon. They were integrated to create this piece of jewelry.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2019 and finished in January 2020 in Yunnan, China.
Operation Flow: This multifunctional piece of jewelry can be a brooch or a pendant. The center stone is a 10.745ct natural rupee red tourmaline from Brazil, set in 18K white gold with diamonds and mother-of-pearl. This brooch inspiration came from Daphne, the Laurel Nymph of Greek mythology.
