Reflection

Reflection is a pair of asymmetric earrings made from repurposed 18ct white gold. The gold is drawn into wire to form the body of the main earring. The larger left earring hooks around the ear, while the right earring is a small stud. A separate drop section can be attached to either earring or slid onto a chain and worn as a pendant. Sapphires and diamonds are grain set and bezel set by hand. The design is inspired by a bird viewing its own reflection in water, and by the contrast between the side that is shown and the side that is kept hidden.

Observing

The work uses layers of circular outlines and changes in folds to design the process of human cognition of the world. The nested structure of concentric circles makes the work present an aesthetic feeling of continuous expansion or contraction, and the overall work reflects a comfortable sense of flow. The combination of gold and diamonds creates a rich and colorful picture and a texture of contrasting layers. The two texture treatments on the metal deepen the layering and spatial extension of the work, reflecting good craftsmanship.

Adley Fixi T1

Inspired by a fixed-gear cycle, Adley Fixi T1 watch is functional, robust and comfortable to wear throughout the day. The signature design of the watch is the unique case profile, central chainring design, crown position and styling of watch hands, lending a sporting touch reminiscent of the feeling of pedalling. The main challenge was translating the cycle element onto a mechanical watch, numerous 3D modelling and prototype to ensure a refined end product. A new assembly technical was applied to ensure the seamless fit to the watch housing.

Midnight Tide

Midnight Tide is a necklace made of 18ct white gold with inlaid diamonds. The neckpiece consists of 79 individually modeled units, each cast to serve a specific function and shaped in reference to human bones. The units interconnect through an original linkage mechanism inspired by body ligaments, which creates controlled tension and fluid movement. Each unit was prototyped, assembled and recast with precise adjustment, and the joints were fine-tuned by hand. The resulting form recalls the movement of ocean tides across the shoulder.

Core

Core is a handmade, one of a kind, necklace with two silicon specimens from the Swiss Apls holding a Sri Lankan natural pink sapphire core. The design features 18kt melted-looking gold accents and an 18kt gold chain. The round brilliant cut Pink Sapphire 2.5cts acts as the centerpiece of the necklace, carving a space for itself between the two silicon specimens as if the gem was breaking the earth to see the light. The design effectively captures the essence of the genesis of gemstones in a visually striking manner.
