De Baron Necklace Ornamentum Artificiosum

Hoc opus inspirationem ex libro "Baro in Arboribus" ducit, momentum interpretans quo Baro libertatem consensioni anteponit. Lineae metallicae fluentes ventum repraesentant qui eum aufert, in formas audaces et insolitas translatum. Coloris oppositiones vehementes narrationem confirmant. Viriditas desiderium mundi soluti evocat, dum granatus mandarinus ipsum Baronem amoremque in genus humanum perpetuum significat. Opus motum, independentiam et fortitudinem viae propriae eligendae celebrat.

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: This idea is expressed through bold, unconventional metal lines and vivid color contrasts. Green conveys a desire for an unconstrained world, while mandarin garnet represents a lasting devotion to humanity. A pave of diamonds in varying sizes and a distinctive under bezel design bring together traditional wire sculpting and CAD modeling, resulting in a piece that is both visually compelling and comfortable to wear.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: Pendant
42.8 mm (width) × 80 mm (height) × 19.8 mm (depth)
Necklace length
50cm to 60cm adjustable
Notulae: Art Jewelry necklace, vivid colors, 3D pave setting technique, 18k gold, Rhodium plating, adjustable
Technologia Productionis: The necklace was developed through hand sketches, followed by copper and iron prototypes to refine the orientation of the lines. It was then modeled in Rhino and ZBrush and produced using casting techniques. Rhodium plating was applied to achieve the desired gold color. Split color diamonds are set along both sides of each line, ensuring the necklace shines from every angle in 360 degrees.
Provocatio Designandi: The hardest part of the creative research challenge was researching and ideating the most authentic way to represent the essence of the book through design. From a craftsmen perspective determining the optimal orientation of the 3D model in Rhino so the diamonds are properly set and visible from 360 degrees was equally challenging. I went through countless discussions with the factory to balance feasibility and aesthetics.
Investigatio: Using the Double Diamond research method to achieve the best jewelry wearing experience this necklace explores The Baron in the Trees through discovery definition development and delivery. Literary research and visual experimentation guided iterative design and material testing. Traditional craftsmanship combined with innovative techniques transforms artistic creativity into a wearable form that expresses intellectual freedom.
Inspiratio: The design is inspired by The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino, whose depiction of independent thinking and a profound love for life deeply resonated with the designer. To express this pursuit of freedom, the necklace features distorted, complex lines that evoke the Baron’s final moment of release in the wildly blowing wind. Warm orange of natural gemstones contrast with cool green rhodium, conveying the novel’s emotional depth and commitment to intellectual freedom.
Duratio Operis: The project started in August 2025 in Pittsburgh and finished in January 2026 in Hongkong
Cursus Operationis: The length of the necklace is adjustable to suit different outfits.
