This is a glimpse of a jewelry collection I led from design through product development, my undergraduate design project for a high jewelry brand.

It was inspired by the Tyndall effect, the way light scatters when it hits tiny particles, creating sunbeams through clouds or trees. I translated that into striped, inlaid designs set with diamonds and sapphires and using ceramic. The collection also introduced ceramics to the brand, a new material for them, which brought these designs to a more accessible price point without moving away from real, high-end stones.

The collection won the award for Most Commercially Viable Design Intervention.
