| DESIGN NAME: Candy PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bracelet INSPIRATION: The inspiration for this piece is the unique bright beautiful ruby color - I want to want to see more of it in a piece of jewelry - to make a truly unique and beautiful piece of jewelry. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Facetted ruby beads woven together with Citrine with stranded stainless steel wire to create a beautiful, flexible and strong piece of jewelry with rich beautiful color. The venter piece is a 2.5 carat ruby cabachon. The clasp and metal ware is 18K white gold. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The very unique color, transparency, sparkle and luster of rubies is unmatched by any material natural or man made and is and it deserves to be worn as jewelry. It is a very comfortable and an easy piece to wear, casually, clubbing, just about any event. A matching choker of the same design and earrings may also be worn to complete the set. It is truly elegant and beautiful. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The product was developed along with a few other products over the course of 1 year. The product was developed in New York City. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Approximately 77 carats of facetted ruby beads Citrine beads, large ruby cabachon, 0.6 carat facetted oval, white gold fixing, chain and clasp, stainless steel wire. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: varies from 20 mm at the center to 12 mm at the end of the woven strip. Overall 21 mm long. TAGS: Radiant, Ruby, glowing, exotic, Jewelry, Bracelet RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The concept started with a weaving pattern and a desire to create big, bold jewelry of genuine medium grade gemstones. The idea is to use a lot of gemstones that have good color and translucency to create stunning pieces that are also affordable to a select audience. After a number of trials, a few designs were created using Blue Sapphire, Peridot, Colored Sapphires, Pearls, Red Spinel, Tanzanite. CHALLENGE: The most difficult challenge of this project are numerous. Each half is woven with continuous wire strand with the beading graduated to create the taper of the band as it wraps around the wrist. It is a real challenge to work out the proper wire to use for strength, longevity and being able to strand the ruby beads in this way. The Gold ends were designed on average bead size to be used ADDED DATE: 2012-09-30 05:26:19 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : IMAGE CREDITS: Mario J Lotti, 2012. |
