PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Galaxie Collection is crafted via a meticulous process, starting with sketches inspired by the Big Bang, Taichi Yin and Yang, the eye, and cushion hexagon symbols of rebirth and prosperity. Using Australian Crystal Opal, 14K white and yellow gold, and accent stones, it seamlessly blends metals. 3D modeling, wax printing, and casting form the structure, while polishing, gold plating, and hand-finishing culminate in precisely setting the Opal for optimal protection and brilliance.

TAGS: Jewelry set, Galaxie, Ring, Earrings, Pendant, Autralian Crystal Opal, Australian Precious Opal, Big Bang, the eye, rebirth, growth, women, power, beginning, Yin Yang, Taichi, cushion hexagon RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Our study fuses cosmic forces and women's history to design jewelry celebrating transformation and empowerment. Through iterative prototyping with symbols (Big Bang, Yin and Yang, eye, cushion hexagon), we collected data via material trials, optical spectroscopy, and 3D modeling. Experts and artisans evaluated prototypes, showing that blackened gold backing boosts opal brilliance. Findings show sustainable luxury drives refined lifestyles, shaping market trends, culture, and design evolution. CHALLENGE: The Galaxie Collection overcame creative challenges by balancing feminine curves with bold symbolism while merging expensive materials into everyday wear amid today's economic climate. Handling Australian Crystal Opal was difficult due to its softness and transparency. Our design protects the stone with custom-crafted settings and a blackened gold backing that boosts its fire effect. The final Opal setting secures both brilliance and durability, achieving elegant functionality. ADDED DATE: 2024-12-19 00:58:08 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : 1 IMAGE CREDITS: Hanh Truong |
