Elinn Fang's Midnight Tide Necklace, a Silver A' Design Award Winner, Embodies the Fluidity and Strength of Oceanic Movements
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Elinn Fang's Midnight Tide Necklace, a stunning piece of bespoke jewelry, draws inspiration from the serene ebbs of midnight tides, embodying the fluidity and strength of oceanic movements. Crafted from diamond-inlaid 18ct White Gold, the neckpiece consists of 79 meticulously modeled units, each resembling the distinctive shapes of human bones, and interconnects through an original linkage mechanism that delivers curated tension and choreographed movement. The combination engineers a textural unity that is simultaneously resilient and agile.
The design process originated from the shaping of the piece that was completed within one sitting. The artist then came up with different structures to combine and separate the materials to achieve the fluidity and strength of the shaping. Each unit was prototyped, assembled, and recast with precise adjustment. After more than 10 types of structural redesign and finishing, the joint movements were individually fine-tuned by hands to enable desired movements multi-dimensionally.
Starting in April 2022 during the 2-month city-wide lockdown in Shanghai, the necklace was finished in January 2023. The design was influenced by the anatomical structure of body joints and underwent relentless trial and error, countless prototyping, and engineering of the structure to achieve the desired artistic vision. The neckpiece was awarded Silver in A' Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design Award in 2023, recognizing its outstanding expertise and innovation.
