About Fairies 動態耳環
《精靈》是一對從晝與夜的二元性中汲取靈感的動態耳環。這組不對稱的組合包括「日之精靈」與「夜之精靈」:前者以白金打造,綴以钻石花朵,内藏一颗祖母绿之心;后者以黑化黄金制成,拥有红宝石之心、钻石星辰与一弯新月。两个人形均配有可活动的双腿和各具神韵的面容。设计先以3D建模,再制作蜡模并浇铸成金,随后经手工修饰与抛光完成。在各部件组装之前,共镶嵌了403颗珍贵宝石。整对耳环依然轻盈,佩戴舒适。

- Production Technology
- Developed in the 3D Matrix program for the jewellery industry based on the Rhinoceros program, a 3D model was created. After the fairies 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, 403 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
- This project was inspired by the duality of Day and Night and my sincere belief that all women have something magical about them, just like Fairies. Asymmetric and contrasting, yet with their secrets alike, this duality demonstrates how different and similarly spectacular women can be any time of the day. No matter the appearance or skin tone, age or beliefs, all of us are mesmerising Fairies, gifting our magic to the dearest ones when our hearts are filled with love.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2020 in London and finished in January 2021 in London. The overall process of production, improvements and quality check took about one year. These earrings have never been exhibited before.
- Operation Flow
- The earrings have multiple wondrous features, such as hidden details, moving legs, ruby and emerald hearts, and different individual faces.
- Patents
- Trademark number UK00003338242 (2018) Trademark Sybarite, Sybarite Jewellery, Sybarite Jewelry.
