The Débutante
European balls inspire elegant jewelry collection.
Inspired by European aristocratic social balls, a new fine custom jewelry collection is launched.
"The Débutante", which originally means the ballroom party where European aristocrats debut at the beginning of their adulthood, is the brand's first high - end custom jewelry exhibition. It reflects all the wonder fulness that has gone through 10 years since the barnd ’ s establishment, and present it in a comprehensive way.
For Olivia Yao, Britain is not only the birthplace of her jewelry skills, but its magnificent and rich cultural history have always been an important muse of inspiration. The glamour of various English social balls deeply attracted Olivia ’ s attention.
With a total of 19 pieces of jewelery are on display, the design of the entire exhibition area revolves around The Débutante series is inspired by elements such as the ribbons on the ball gawn dresses and the flowers and plants in the manor.
As one enter the exhibition area, walls of romantic gauze curtains, conveying the brand's modern and elegant style, are the first to be seem. Then walking to the main exhibition area on the second floor, there is an gemstone garden inspired by the central garden in the European ball. It displays the unique process of transforming raw stone into dazzling and moving jewelery by the hand of great craftsmen.
In order to integrate the gemstones into the soft cur ves of the designs, Olivia spent nearly two years on mastering the channel setting skill: cutting each diamond at the perfect angle and using a large number of channel gemstones completed her vision of fluid movements on jewelery. The difficulty with this technology was that the diamonds must be cut into a corresponding trapezoidal shape according to the curvature of the jewelry. If the angle is slightly off, the lines of the ribbon will not be perfect, witch means each diamond needs to be professionally al tered differently. The works in the exhibition also used a variety of precious colored gemstones, including emeralds, rubies, aquamarines, opals, paraipa tourmalines, Jedi spinels and fancy cut diamonds. The combination of stone and precious metal craftsma nship highlighted the sculpture and vitality of these art pieces.
