About Reflection 耳环
《倒影》是一对以再生18K白金打造的不对称耳环。黄金被拉制成金丝，构成主体耳饰的骨架。较大的左耳饰环绕耳廓佩戴，右耳饰则是一枚小巧的耳钉。可拆卸的垂坠部分既可与任一耳饰组合佩戴，也可穿入链条化作吊坠。蓝宝石与钻石采用手工爪钉镶与包镶工艺固定。设计灵感源自飞鸟凝视自己水中倒影的瞬间，以及展露于外的一面与深藏于内的一面之间的微妙对比。

- 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
