Essence Earring

Essence

Essence is an earring inspired by human connection before and after the coronavirus pandemic. The main form is spherical, and lines move across the surface and intersect. These lines enclose a semi-hidden white pearl, which stands for the essence of life. The lines then end in small pearls of a contrasting dark color, a reference to social distance. A separate pendant, 20 mm long, hangs below the sphere. The design was modeled with software, produced by 3D printing and direct casting, and the pearls are set by hand.

Ripples Jewelry

Ripples

Ripples is a jewelry set that includes a necklace and a pair of earrings. The set is made of 18K gold, jadeite and diamonds. The jadeite is cut to reveal natural inclusions that resemble aquatic plants seen through water. A total of 189 princess cut diamonds are slotted along one edge, so the layers mimic waves expanding outward.

The design is inspired by a spring pond touched by wind.

Raices Sustainable Jewelry

Raices

The design of the Raices line emerges from the need to reuse thousands of oval cuts of new leather from a safety boot factory, discarded daily for having no utility. To reuse them, the designer focused on the search for techniques that would allow to find their greatest beauty and functionality, finding inspiration in the wings of birds, the scaled, staggered and overlapping. In order to expand the color palette, it was also decided to reuse leathers from other companies.

Polygon Hair Claw

Polygon

Polygon is a hair claw designed for everyday hair styling. The shape and placement of the prongs differ from those of a standard hair claw, so more hair can be held. The prong shape and placement are protected by patents in the United States and Japan. The collection is made of aluminium, which lowers the weight compared with earlier metal claws. The lighter body stays in place longer and reduces the discomfort caused by heavy claws. The form was developed with computer-aided design, then made with rubber moulds and casting.

Moebius Ring

Moebius

The design of these matching couple rings is the outcome inspired by the Moebius strip. This design is not an exact description of the Moebius strip that people imagine; it is a formative band expressed in a modern form. The unique feature of these rings is that it looks like a simple band when worn, but when you take off the band and match the two bands, it has the interesting, unique feature of drawing a Moebius strip.
