About Fairies Kinetic Earrings
Fairies is a pair of kinetic earrings inspired by the duality of day and night. The asymmetric duo includes Fairy of the Day, made in white gold with diamond flowers and a hidden emerald heart, and Fairy of the Night, made in blackened gold with a ruby heart, diamond stars and a crescent moon. Both figures have moving legs and individual faces. A 3D model was prototyped in wax and cast in gold, then finished by hand and polished. A total of 403 precious stones were set before the parts were joined. The pair remains light and wearable.

- Production Technology
- Developed in the 3D Matrix program for the jewellery industry based on the Rhinoceros program, a 3D model was created. After the fairies were grown by prototyping on a 3D printer from wax, the cast was made in gold. They were processed by hand and polished with jewellery threads, for the perfect shine of the gems and showing their cut, clarity and colour. After that, 403 precious stones were fixed into the base product and only then the parts were connected into the final figurines.
- Design Challenge
- The number one challenge is to combine the design of the piece with its technical side while maintaining it lightweight, wearable and ergonomic.
- Research
- Traditionally, jewellers have created static pieces for thousands of years. By adding movement to the jewellery I allow our pieces to come alive, inspired by the beauty of magic and nature. As a jeweller, my concept is to find ways to introduce kinetic effects and hidden secrets that are a unique joy to own.
- Inspiration
- This project was inspired by the duality of Day and Night and my sincere belief that all women have something magical about them, just like Fairies. Asymmetric and contrasting, yet with their secrets alike, this duality demonstrates how different and similarly spectacular women can be any time of the day. No matter the appearance or skin tone, age or beliefs, all of us are mesmerising Fairies, gifting our magic to the dearest ones when our hearts are filled with love.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2020 in London and finished in January 2021 in London. The overall process of production, improvements and quality check took about one year. These earrings have never been exhibited before.
- Operation Flow
- The earrings have multiple wondrous features, such as hidden details, moving legs, ruby and emerald hearts, and different individual faces.
