About Ruby Pixels 耳環

Ruby Pixels嘅設計靈感嚟自80年代嘅電子遊戲同都市廣告入面嘅霓虹紅光,同時亦都揉合咗伊斯蘭圖案入面嗰種馬賽克排列嘅美感,喺設計中清晰可見。最大嘅挑戰在於要滿足市場對各種形式嘅「護身符」珠寶嘅需求,將自然嘅形態轉化為帶有相同情感嘅有機圓環造型,喺功能性同美學之間取得平衡,同時建立起耳環同佩戴者之間嘅情感連結。

Production Technology: The upper part includes princess cut diamonds and rubies. The lower part includes tear-shaped ruby. The base material is 18K gold.
Design Challenge: The contrast of combining an unconventional and modern design of the earrings at the top with the classic design (teardrop-like hanging at the bottom) and creating a work with high visual dynamics has been the main challenge in this design.
Research: How the asymmetrical color arrangement of red and white jewelry on the upper part and also the difference in height of these stones and the use of common claws to mount them, ergonomic placement of the upper part of the ear and hanging tears-shaped stone at the bottom, all with many Prototypes and multiple trials were obtained.
Inspiration: The design of this earring is inspired by the turning on and off of light pixels on screens such as 80s video games (like Atari) on a black background or even neon red lights in urban advertising, as well as inspiration from the mosaic arrangement of Islamic patterns in this design that is visible.
Project Duration: The project has been designed and produced in Tehran, Iran in 2020.
Operation Flow: It visually remembers the start of the spring with an asymmetrically combination of white and pink blossoms. The asymmetrical and random variety of colors create excitement in a modern atmosphere that calms by leading to a big tear at the end of the earring.
