DESIGN NAME: Amulet Eye
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Ring Pendant
INSPIRATION: Eyes are more eloquent than lips, they are the voice of the heart and soul mirror. Also, the jewelry that we wear can say a lot about us. The eye as a symbol, is one of the most commonly used symbols in history, which is the path to knowledge and wisdom. This symbol, which we know already from the Egyptian mythology has inspired me this time to design my jewelry collection Eye to the soul, which is not just a decoration, but also a talisman. The eye as a symbol associated with God Horus, which among other things is considered protector of people and their destiny. My motivation was a demand in jewelry market, jewelry that protect you from evil spirits and other negative impacts.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This gold ring or pendant, I present it from my jewelry collection of Eye to the soul, and it is a modern treatment of traditional symbols in a luxurious, sophisticated jewelry with the help of basic geometric shapes, such a circle, square and triangle with a focus on the balance of various shades of sapphire and various colors of gold and black rhodium, with the function of protective amulets.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Ring can be easily and fully functionally turn into pendant, thanks to precisely shape of the eye, which allows the pendant stable position, which makes it a multi functional jewelry. Non standard sapphire installment from princess shape in the form of a cube, allows light to pass seamlessly through the stone, and it contributes to the maximum utilization of light reflection.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The ring and other jewelry from the collection Eye to the soul were designed, and manufactured in February, March and April 2016 in Serbia. The collection was officially presented to the public in the presence of the media in May 2016, in jewelry shop Diamond Spot in Belgrade in Serbia, for which this collection was designed and made.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: From the first drawings in pencil on paper, through technical drawings in Illustrator CS6 and 3D program to the press model in wax and casting of precious metals, was born a ring of 18 carat gold with fancy sapphires, hand stone setting and carefully selected according to clearly defined heights, given the complexity of handmade installed stones from shaped princess in opposite sides of the cubes of yellow gold. Part of the ring is coated with black rhodium. The ring is very demanding due to the production of flat, geometrical surface of which is made because of not typical hand stone setting.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The shape of the ring in the shape of the eye is designed to clearly defined basic geometric shapes, and that is a concrete square, circle and triangle, I like to combine the asymmetrical compositions wherein asking symmetry. I tried to put it in jewelry additional function and meaning other than the ordinary decorations, and by that increased the value of the amplifier relationship, which will have a person who will wear it. An interesting way of stone setting against the stone, allows light to pass through it flawlessly, where stones can utilize maximum light source.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge was to meet the market demand for jewelry in various forms of protective symbols, and thereby to create a luxurious, elegant and timeless talisman, which will be different with its story from many other seen amulets. The big challenge to me was also to handmade install 3 princess shaped sapphires in a form of a cube.
