Dewdrop Earring: A Harmonious Blend of Nature and ArtTransforming the Organic Form of a Branch into Wearable Art
The inspiration for these earrings comes from dewdrops as they are naturally formed on plants at early dawn. Dewdrops symbolize new beginnings, a sense of freshness, and pristine surroundings. Glistening upon twigs, leaves, and petals, dew is a nurturing element that represents a precious and present moment in time that contains infinite possibilities.
Inspired by nature, the Dewdrop Earring by Carina Wong is a stunning piece of wearable art that captures the essence of dewdrops. The design transforms the organic form of a branch into a harmonious and kinetic masterpiece. The subtle movable parts within the earring enable free motion, synchronous with the natural movement of the wearer, creating a dynamic and captivating experience.
One of the unique features of the Dewdrop Earring is its ability to catch light from every angle. The movements of the earring create a play of light and shadow, adding another element of energy to this already dynamic design. The icy jade cabochons adorn the piece with beads of light and purity, while blue sapphires symbolize the sky and brown diamonds represent the earth. The combination of these different materials instills the drop with the idea that there is a whole heaven within it, reflecting the ancient Chinese philosophy of the harmony among heaven, earth, and man.
The design of the Dewdrop Earring is a testament to Carina Wong's meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. The piece is made using 18K white gold, icy jade, sapphires, and brown diamonds. With a width of 23mm and a height of 48mm, the earring is a statement piece that effortlessly combines traditional oriental philosophy with modernity.
The Dewdrop Earring is not only a work of art but also a reflection of the designer's deep connection with nature and ancient Chinese philosophy. It is a reminder of the harmony that exists between humans and the natural world, and the infinite possibilities that each new beginning holds.
Recognized for its outstanding design and creative ingenuity, the Dewdrop Earring was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2016. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
