DESIGN DETAILS

DESIGN NAME:
Temptations

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Earrings

INSPIRATION:
The temptation is inevitable. We tend to use the word in the wrong way. Temptation itself is not sin; it is something we are bound to face simply by virtue of being human. In fact, it is essential to the well-rounded life of a person. We must be warned that temptation can lead to destruction. But on the other hand, temptation can catapult us into deeper growth, if we learn to trust our inner strength in the midst of it. If we learn to lean on truth in the face of a lie.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This earring uses the function of magnetic pull. The diamond bezel attached to the chain and diamond bezel on main body of the earrings have strong magnet attached at the back, hidden in the body of these elements. When diamond bezel is taken towards other diamond part of the earrings, the two magnets pull towards each other strongly but limited chain length does not allow them to meet, so the diamond element just suspends in the air giving it a look of some magic trick.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The design is simple yet interactive, offering a surprising element. It creates curiosity in the mind of the wearer thus indulging him/her in the process in thinking. It is a fun jewel because you can play with it and therefore is perfect for the millennial generation who like to wear and flaunt their individuality.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in May 2018 in Mumbai, India and prototyping is finished in Jan 2019.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
The design has been generated using 3 D software. The physical earring came into realization through 3D printing technique by using a resin which can be used for casting. Then, using lost wax technique the main body of earring is casted into gold. All the part cleaned by filing and then assembled by hand. Then machine made rolo chain assembled with diamond part. The entire piece polished for high quality of luster and magnets are fixed in the last with super strong adhesive.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The task was to design a form that can represent the idea temptations, So after a lot of research and trial & error, I decided to use magnet for the functionality and effect of the concept.

CHALLENGE:
Decision to use a magnet brought up the task to fit the magnets with in the body of element of designs and not to make them bulky. I made adjustments and alterations to shape and forms to find an elegant looking shape which could hide the magnets and arrived at this form. The next challenge was to find the magnet which can be small in size and can have a great pull power for years. A lot of internet research and discussion with experts gave me direction to use Neodymium magnet.
