“Eternal Celebration”

About the Piece:
Silver 999 and 950 Brooch/Necklace with Pliqué à Jour technique

About the Process: 

I am very happy to have the chance to participate in EnamelARTjam2022. So let me tell you my experience and process. For me the most challenging part during this creative process was to give an original interpretation to the assigned concept. 

It took me a lot of time and effort to come up with something that would represent the concept the way I wanted. So this idea came to me “All of us always try to capture life, imprison the happiest moments in order to enjoy them and celebrated them forever.”

Then a biggest challenge was presented, how to put my design into practice, how to enamel the Pliqué à Jour leaves inside the cage, how to reduce the risk of making a mistake and letting enamel fall inside it. So I decided to enamel them independently and then set them inside the piece.

During the preparation of this piece I learned that I do not necessarily have to follow the structures and established paths to achieve the desired result, you must dare to innovate and try new designs and execute them in a creative way
