Midnight Tide Necklace by Elinn Yi Fang

Home > Winners > #149862




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Midnight Tide

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Necklace

INSPIRATION:
The neckpiece crystallizes the inner serenity to which the artist is drawn. The piece is reminiscent of the frothy ebbs of midnight tides, draping effortlessly over one's shoulder: mimicking the fluidity of a wave caressing down the coastline, imbuing the pulse of the ocean into the wearer's very being.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
To realize the artistic vision, the neckpiece consists of 79 meticulously modeled units, each cast to fulfill specific functions, resembling the distinctive shapes of human bones. Inspired by body ligaments, these units interconnect through an original linkage mechanism that delivers curated tension and choreographed movement. The combination engineers a textural unity that is simultaneously resilient and agile.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The design process originated from the shaping of the piece that was completed within one sitting. The artist then came up with different structures to combine and separate the materials in order to achieve the fluidity and strength of the shaping. Each unit was prototyped, assembled, and recast with precise adjustment. After more than 10 types of structural redesign and finishing, the joint movements were individually fine-tuned by hands to enable desired movements multi-dimensionally.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
Starting April 2022 during the 2 month city-wide lockdown in Shanghai, and finished in January 2023, Shanghai.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Diamond inlaid 18ct White Gold, individually modelled and cast with 3D printing techniques that interconnect through an original linkage mechanism. Relentless trial and error and countless prototyping culminated in the final engineering of the structure.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
125mm x 3mm x 195mm

TAGS:
Bespoke jewellery, Necklace, Diamond neckpiece, Exquisite craftsmanship, Serenity, Artistic expression

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Visual qualities: Inspired by oceanic movements and tidal imageries, artist made pencil studies and observations that progressed seamlessly from figurative sketching to the finalized abstract form. Engineering: The adult human body comprises 206 individual bones, each with a unique shape and function in facilitating movement. The engineering of this neckpiece is influenced by the anatomical structure of body joints.

CHALLENGE:
In order to achieve visual harmony and convey the intended artistic vision, the neckpiece required specific qualities in terms of texture, color, and reflection. The desired movement is achieved by meticulously crafting each individual unit with subtle variations. This involved a precise and laborious process of manipulating the hardened 18ct Gold wires in order to control the angle, direction, and extent of joint movements, similar to the way ligaments function in the human body. The goal was to attain a universal balance across all units and joints, which required significant effort and attention to detail.

CLIENT/STUDIO/BRAND DETAILS
NAME:
Bijoux d'Elinn

PROFILE:
Founded in 2018 by Elinn Fang, Atelier Bijoux d’Elinn has created more than 200 bespoke jewellery pieces for an intimate network of close clients. A differentiated spirit from a young age, Elinn accepted the wanderings of her unconscious as the wellspring to her imagination. She is a diver in the realms of experience, immersing herself in transient escapism, joining together dream and fantasy with absolute reality. Through a process of sketching, carving, moulding, selecting and setting, she surfaces surrealist beauty in jewellery creation. It’s a particular kind of woman who embarks on a co-creation with Elinn. These are women who are au-fait in the practise of self-definition, who have subscribed themselves to the constant evolution of self-creation, preservation and destruction, who seek no cues from the fanfare of the external world. Here, Elinn deepens the definition of bespoke as she navigates through the inner and outer atmosphere of her clients, exploring temperature, sound, textures and scent, emerging with new possibilities for awakened expression. Consideration, composition, correspondence; a delicate curation of steps leads to the final bond between each naturally complex subject and their bespoke object. Reposed in a 1900’s period building on Shanghai’s iconic Shanxi Bei Lu, a first-floor apartment of the fortuitously named Pacific Garden Residence fashions itself into the design studio, workshop and private salon for Bijoux d’Elinn. It is welcomingly mystifying, an architectural design that is at once reminisce of Paris or New York or London, allowing guests to cocoon themselves in the possibility of being everywhere and nowhere while they sink into the dialogue of their design.
