As part of my research, I wanted to look deeper into the concept of bloodline connections by studying my nan's jewellery. I felt like a child in a sweet shop!
While photographing all the jewels, I kept taking sketches of all the reflections that bounced off the cut of the stone. This enchanted me and made me think that this is the actual reason why we all find stone jewellery so beautiful. However, what I primarily wanted to extract from this research was the pure clean cut lines that the reflections create. Essentially the vein structure of the jewel.
What I also found in my nan's jewellery box were mass amounts of chains, both working and broken. Disregarding the hard exterior of the individual link, the chains as a whole were incredibly malleable as I portrayed the path of a vein on my sister's (the model featured in the photo above) arm. This gave me an idea to consider throughout my design process; To use something that is seen as the extreme of that field and then juxtapose it's purpose through its usage.
Evidently this research has been success as it has equipped me with ideas for development and numerous designs.
