Design Details
- Unique Properties
- minimalist design of a bracelet using titanium(black part) and gold. Titanium give this bracelet strength and the special color. Its structure is booth very clean and smooth to the wrist, hidden clasp inside the bracelet which is unseen to the surface.
- Inspiration
- It first came up with an idea, what if a goldsmith's bracelet will be? It must be convenient for work, must be tough, simple but different. Or, should it be a bracelet or bangle? What if both?

- Challenge
- Challenges of making this bracelet. First, Titanium is very hard to sand and to polish, secondly is titanium can't soldering under oxygen environments which we invented a tool to push away oxygen. Thirdly, to connect all the parts we must invent a kind of joint to fill in. Fourthly, change titanium to black color, this remains a secret process. Finally was making of the clasp, the clasp must be easy operated, safe enough not fallout during wearing them, and must not be visualize by other person easily.
- Realization and Technology
