| DESIGN NAME: The Korean Peninsula's Prayer PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bracelet INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this design comes from the ancient Korean tradition of Akhaedokje, the ceremonies for the great mountains, vast seas, and large rivers, as well as the desire for unification and peace on the Korean Peninsula. The design also incorporates the form and symbolism of a ten-bead rosary bracelet, expressing a prayer for a harmonious future and the hope for unity and peace. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This bracelet is a unique fusion of the Korean Peninsula's Akhaedokje tradition, the aspirations for unification and peace, and the form and symbolism of a rosary bracelet. The design captures the beauty and significance of the Korean Peninsula's terrain, including mountains, seas, and rivers, while the ten-bead rosary structure represents the hope for a united and peaceful future. The central cross emphasizes this wish, creating a harmonious blend of traditional and modern styles. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The bracelet features a sophisticated and intuitive design that allows the wearer to appreciate the intricate details and symbolism behind the piece. The handcrafted twists, which are adorned with numerous small diamonds, represent various geographical elements of the Korean Peninsula. The spring and hinge mechanism on one side of the bracelet ensures a comfortable fit and easy opening and closing for the wearer. The beautiful blend of yellow and white gold in the design adds to the visual appeal and further emphasizes the desire for unity and peace. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The concept sketch began in October 2020, and after several trials and errors, the project was completed in November 2021. Since then, it has been privately stored and maintained in Seoul, Korea. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The bracelet is meticulously crafted using 18K yellow and white gold, creating a harmonious blend of colors and textures. The intricate twisted patterns on the main band and additional layers are carefully handcrafted, while the diamond settings add a touch of elegance and sparkle. The combination of traditional techniques and modern technology ensures a high-quality finish and a comfortable fit for the wearer. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Dimensions: Main band 4.1mm depth, 6.4~6.6mm (cross, additional twists); Total length 14.7cm; Weight 26g. TAGS: Jewelry, Bracelet, Korean Peninsula, Rosary, Unity, Peace, Gold, Diamond, Handcrafted RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design process involved studying the history and significance of Akhaedokje, the Korean Peninsula's terrain, and the symbolism of the rosary. Sketches and 3D modeling were utilized for concept development, and various materials and techniques, including white gold, yellow gold, and diamond setting, were explored. Feedback from experts and peers was gathered throughout the process, which led to a refined and meaningful design representing the desire for unification and peace in the Korean Peninsula. CHALLENGE: The primary challenge was combining the ancient ritual of Akhaedokje with the symbolism of a rosary, while reflecting the Korean Peninsula's terrain and aspirations for unification and peace. Achieving a harmonious balance between the intricate details, such as handcrafted twists and diamond settings, and the overall design required a delicate touch. Additionally, the implementation of the spring/hinge/parting mechanism in the lower right section proved to be a complex task, pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship ADDED DATE: 2023-03-26 00:22:37 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : Hai Won Jung (Lead Designer), Ju Cheol Park IMAGE CREDITS: Hai Won Jung, 2022. |
