DESIGN NAME: Pae Muang Pee Phenomenon
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Kinetic Jewelry
INSPIRATION: Phae Mueang Phi Forest Park Located at Nam Cham District, Phrae Province, Thailand with an area of approximately 167 rai (267,200 square meters) Phae means scrubland, Mueang Phi means lonely, caused by the terrain, which is soil and sandstone being naturally eroded, the rock layers are not as resistant to decay. together When infiltrated by rain, rocks that are less resistant to decay are easily eroded, leaving a layer that is more resistant to decay. Acting like a plate placed on top of which water cannot easily erode further, the rest is a different shape. There is one legend that in the past, villagers dubbed Phae Mueang Phi is a secret town, a mystical forest, where if you get lost, you will never be able to get back out. Therefore, these stories and beliefs are used as inspiration for jewelry designs that are believed to protect against evil. not to get lost in this secret city
Therefore, the design is used as an ornament of Phae Mueang Phi It makes the jewelry beautiful. Outstanding in beliefs and stories By using the character of the ghost town goat and the legend that the ghost town goat is a secret city as a template for the media design, the wearer can build confidence in protection from evil. Don't be fooled by bad prevent various dangers To those who wear ghost town goat bracelets that can be worn suitable for those who want beautiful jewelry. Modern and help in defense
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Inspired by Gravity and kinetic method. The concept of this jewelry is about using the idea and techniques of changing the Position of the Glass-ceramic ball inside the jewelry. It is challenging as well as breaks the rule of conventional perception. This jewelry has been designed by the kinetic system, to be able to move and adjust into multiple shape or formation that significantly different from each other. The imitation jewelry glass-ceramic materials were obtained from recycling waste gemstones. Base on the sintering glass ceramics technique using metal powder as coloring agent to develop jewelry applications. The substantial viscous flow of the glass led to dense products for rapid treatments at relatively low temperatures (950 celsius), whereas glass/metal powder interactions resulted in the formation of color agent crystals, providing enhancement optical properties. Metallic powder peculiarity is the appearance of a colored metallic shine. There is a great potential for such materials with novel functionalities for artificial gemstone application. The preliminary glass ceramics tests were assessed by both physical and optical properties.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The pendant can transform into many shapes that make it suitable in many situations. The wearer can change the shape of the pendant by pushing and pulling the pendant. Moreover, the pendant could be present as a mini sculpture that and uses for decoration. The imitation jewelry glass-ceramic materials were obtained from recycling waste gemstones. which is a recycle material that could reduce the waste in jewelry-making production.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2020 in Bangkok Thailand and finished in April 2021, and was exhibited around Bangkok in 2021. The project has been developed from many of my kinetic jewelry projects from 2012-2021.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Designed by a 3D program with high accuracy. About the prototype printed by 3D printer machine (Rapid prototype) at the micron level of accuracy, which allows the sophisticated parts and design. Every part is completely fit together, and could make a fluid movement. The Mechanical and joints that have been developed from the traditional jewelry making could make a difference in assembling process. The new joint and small part can be assembly together without using welding. This unique technic reduced the heating and save more energy from welding process, which is more friendly to the environment. The imitation jewelry glass ceramic materials were obtained from recycling waste gemstones. Base on the sintering glass ceramics technique using metal powder as coloring agent to develop jewelry applications. The substantial viscous flow of the glass led to dense products for rapid treatments at relatively low temperatures (950 celsius), whereas glass/metal powder interactions resulted in the formation of color agent crystals, providing enhancement optical properties. Metallic powder peculiarity is the appearance of a colored metallic shine. There is a great potential for such materials with novel functionalities for artificial gemstone application. The preliminary glass ceramics tests were assessed by both physical and optical properties. The effects of nitrogen plasma have markedly improved surface hardness, anti-tarnish and corrosion resistance of the silver casting jewelry samples. By measuring the change in the color of the corrosive samples using a spectrophotometer. The improved corrosion resistance was believed to stem from the rapid formation of a more protective film containing nitrogen nitride in salt Sulphur and air environment.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Kinetic and interaction are significant. Firstly, according to many research indicate that human eyes and attention have been developed to be attracted by a moving object. For example, we always attracted by moving people or object compare with nonmoving objects. Secondly, physical interaction is a part of human life. For example, we always use our hands to interact with something. For these reasons, I decided to combine Movement and interaction methods together in my jewelry to create a unique experience between the wearer and the jewelry.
CHALLENGE: In order to create kinetic jewelry, I need to be completely understood in many kinetic aspects such as animal action and machine movable systems. I also need to transfer such a significant small piece of mechanism into my jewelry. In my point of view, my jewelry is an art piece that people could engage or play with it. for this reason, the wearer will feel completely connect with my jewelry.
