Priceless Gift From A Mama

Mama priceless gift for birthday and Christmas

Since taking this tough course titled : "How to take care of 3 kids cum work from home without getting mad". I have missed doing something I love since Feb 2012 (to prevent this blog to become weeds garden, I have to do something fast)  - organise my though and try to speak it out!   To answer your question - Yes, my 3rd bb was born in April 2012. Our business was in hibernate condition for 3 months since then. I have no more excuse to continue doing tasks that I love. So let this project break the long silence.

A very old friend of mine, a simple person that always has the fine hand making little crafts and delicious bakery (YUM YUM!). She was very indecisive when making decision on gift for her lovely daughter. Until one day she sent me the sketch of her own design. What else can be more unique then that. a perfect life long keepsake for her sweetie.

The pendent is made of 750/18K gold (a strongest material among gold carat) but the chain is 916/22k gold. Not our original plan of 18K gold. Just realise that Malaysia market supply expensive 18K/750 gold jewelry i.e. about RM 350/gram. Which is much more higher compare to 22K/916 gold i.e. RM 195/gram. No doubt the cost of producing 18k/750 gold is higher especially  in terms of tooling cost, but a mass production chain with such high cost is still too much. 

Meeting An Old Friend - A Gift With Heart

 A two years back project worked with a very soft spoken pretty lady. She has this beautiful idea in mind, wanted to make the very unique wedding gift for her sister. I presented 4 for similar designs and ended with the most simple one - her very origin idea. We took about half-a-year to complete this assignment. The most challenging but interesting part was the ring finishing. CAD has it limit and the art work did not present whole of her idea of the finishing. So Chin, the pretty lady and me crowded in front of the jewelry bench to discuss about the finishing. We carefully stamp each holes, big and small, near and far, deep and shallow. The results did not show until a few trial attempts. The moment we manage to capture her image in mind, we rush out for the sun set. Cause wanted to see hows the ring shine under the natural light. And the shines like thousands of tiny little diamonds scattered around the "heart". The results was marvellous.
After two years, she brought back for retouching. I just can't stop admiring this master piece, the beautiful curvature of the "心", the diamond bling-bling effect and the antic-rustic finishing. Just like meeting an old friend (^,^)

The More We Get Together

Left foot belongs to HIM and right belongs to HER

inspiration make new design infinite

Meet this lovely couple early this year, presenting very unique ring design - engraved with feet print. I love the concept and suggested them to scan and put their own foot print on instead. They loved the idea. 

The scanning process was easy until the computer touching process. I struggled a lot on deciding the foot print shape. (Decision is always the tough part of design, Always Does!) The ring structure and the finishing type (we call this jewelry make-up) was also an uncertainty. 

Finally I did a few concept designs during the art work presentation i.e. round and flat ring structure, normal and blacken foot print, and finally with or without stones. 

At the end, she made the final decision of flat ring structure, blacken foot print and CZ stones setting. The end result was beyond her expectation. She loves it! Me too! 

Apparently, this is a cute and unique pieces of wedding band. Looking into depth, it means no matter What, When, Who, Where and How, they are committed to "walk together".

Our very 1st project that make our R&D project being commercialized.

I am definitely not an IT person. But I do enjoy the whole process of pretending to be a IT geek. So many parts need to be organized and put together. Fast decision making plays an important role. Something just have to let go and must make sure I will come back.  No matter who, where, how, when and which, the resistantly must be break to start a life time project.

Message On Metal - A Memorable Jewelry As A Perfect Keepsake For Your Loved One

Font Type: Bold Comfortaa

Font Type: Verdana

 This twp projects are done almost the same time. And their purpose are the same - to make their though on precious metal that can be a good keepsake. I will say this is a timeless gift for their loved one.

The Silhouette Rings with Comfortaa font is ordered by a couple who stay away from each other since their  graduation.They make a wise choice on the font which is more comfortable to wear. (Rounded corners) 

Distant relationship is always a tough challenge to be maintain. They have make it so far, 7 years (hope my memory is still good)  is never a short period. This rings keep their important message of : "You Are My Lucky Star". This should explain why they are still loving couple.

The second design is a working mom's dream design. She really got the design in her mind and now she wants it to be materialized. At the beginning, the whole family name should be on the ring. But the maximum letter is 17 and her two sons name be the final decision. I always like to look on Silhouette ring, cause it gives different views from different angle. That make the ring real unique. I am happy with the result as the Cool Mom does. :)

Palladium Silver Silhouette Couple Rings

I have always like the dramatically contrast between black and white. At first, I want my whole ring to be as black as charcoal so that our names appear like shadow on our hand. But to create a constant black that absorb all reflection is another technique to be explore. So to enhance the 'Black' I will have to change to surface to matte finishing with original color of palladium silver be expose. These rings are done by my Roland but I will prefer to have it print by RP if there is any chance. I would like to have the edge to be as define as possible, then my "Drama" effect can be feel.
