The Door of One’s Heart: A Unique Necklace Design by Siting Ye

Combining Love and Artistry in a Stunning Jewelry Piece

The inspiration for The Door of One’s Heart comes from the classic symbols of a heart and a door. Siting Ye ingeniously combines these two shapes, creating a design where two doors rotate and open to form a heart. This design concept symbolizes the emotional connection between people and serves as a reminder to open our hearts to love.

What sets this necklace apart is its innovative bearing structure. By opening the heart, the necklace triggers a moment of emotion, making it a perfect expression of love or emotional need. The design achieves a delicate balance between complexity and simplicity, ensuring both artistic and commercial value.

The Door of One’s Heart is meticulously crafted using advanced technology and techniques. The necklace is made of 18K gold, adorned with diamonds and enamel. The dynamic forms and simplified lines reflect the emotional collision in the design, creating a visually striking piece of jewelry.

The functionality of the necklace is equally impressive. The main body consists of two layers of door-shaped pieces. By holding your finger on the back door and moving it to the right, the doors transform into a heart shape, symbolizing the opening of one's heart. The necklace can be worn in two forms, each with its unique beauty and meaning.

Siting Ye, the talented designer behind The Door of One’s Heart, collaborated with Fanyue Lin to bring this design to life. The necklace was visualized using MatrixGold and KeyShot 9, ensuring every detail was meticulously planned and executed.

With dimensions of 13.0mm in length, 6.8mm in width, and 2.4mm in height, The Door of One’s Heart weighs a total of 4g. Its compact size and lightweight nature make it comfortable to wear while still making a bold statement.

This remarkable necklace design was created in March 2020 in Hangzhou, China. Siting Ye's research on different door styles and their relationship to happiness played a crucial role in the design process. The goal was to create a piece of jewelry that conveys good faith through commercial design, embodying simplicity, profundity, comfort, and durability.

The Door of One’s Heart faced several challenges during its creation. Balancing artistic and commercial value, infusing the product with emotional significance, and creating a classic and sustainable piece were all crucial considerations. However, Siting Ye successfully overcame these challenges, resulting in a design that is both novel and suitable for daily wear.

Recognized for its excellence, The Door of One’s Heart was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2021. This prestigious award is given to designs that meet professional and industrial requirements, integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics.
