By using the lexicon of curves and lines an essence is captured and translated into this vibrant piece of jewellery. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The strength of this bracelet is the curves within embodies the wearer's arm perfectly.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 54mm - 73mm - 145mm TAGS: Organic, 3D Printing, Jewellery, Craftsmanship, Evening Jewel RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research began with observation of beautiful sea creatures and developed with iterations to abstract the shape into nowadays modern language. What's more, careful measurements of the wearer's wrist size, back and forth experiments of functional options are also taken into consideration. CHALLENGE: The challenge occurred when it comes to bringing the fluid and intangible feeling into the design of an actual object. How to transform a piece of jewellery into an artefact of expression and echo when it's worn lies in the core of the process.
