Production Technology
18K gold Italian handmade snake lapel pins with gem stones: 18K white, yellow, and pink gold created with responsibly sourced Valcambi Swiss Gold Products. Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby and Diamonds were used. Satin Finish is applied for the snake body.
Design Challenge
After manufacturing the first piece, it became apparent that making the snake detachable and with additional double chains would be more useful for wearers to cover a range of casual to formal occasions. It became a challenge to balance the 18K long snake with a small function/attachment on the rod. The challenge was solved by adjusting the size of attachment, and the thickness of the rod to work with the snakes curves. This lapel pin can be worn with 4 different styles, with or without the snake and with additional chains.
Project Duration
Concept making, jewelry designed in Japan and manufactured in Italy June 2021-Aug 2022. The project is still in progress.
Operation Flow

Research

Inspiration
