RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This earring stems from deep design research, blending Baroque elegance, Versailles’ gardens, and sustainability. We studied historical jewelry, architecture, and nature’s symbolism to create a piece reflecting resilience and femininity. Using archival research, expert input, and material testing, we refined the design with lab-grown emeralds, diamonds, and a mother-of-pearl clock face. This fusion of history and eco-luxury empowers women while redefining fine jewelry with purpose.
CHALLENGE: We faced two production challenges. First, incorporating a real moving hour hand required a mechanism (a watch movement), adding weight and reducing comfort. To enhance wearability while preserving symbolism, we chose decorative hour hands. Second, using gemstones as the cover obstructed visibility and altered the design. We selected a white mother-of-pearl base for contrast and glass for clarity, ensuring elegance and functionality to achieve the desired effect.
