Auguries of Innocence: A Sculptural Jewelry Collection by JUN SHI

Art Jewelry Inspired by the Cycle of Life and Rebirth

In the world of Eastern philosophy, the concept of "Rebirth" holds great significance. It reminds us that everything in the world goes through a cycle of birth and death. Just as a withered flower makes way for a new bloom, difficult times eventually give rise to new beginnings. JUN SHI, a renowned designer, has captured this essence in their latest jewelry collection, "Auguries of Innocence."

What sets "Auguries of Innocence" apart is the unique approach taken by JUN SHI. Each piece in the collection is meticulously crafted using the sculpture method, making it a wearable work of art. The jewelry is a fusion of sculpture and personalization, making it truly one-of-a-kind.

The materials used in the collection are as diverse as the inspiration behind it. Natural wood is used to maintain its organic shape, without any processing. Silver is cast using the lost wax method, ensuring intricate details are preserved. The collection also features a variety of gemstones, including ruby, tourmaline, quartz, zircon, moonstone, and pearl.

With dimensions of 11cm x 6cm x 3cm, each piece in the "Auguries of Innocence" collection is a testament to the designer's attention to detail and craftsmanship.

The design process for each piece begins with a hand-drawn manuscript. From there, the design is carved into wax, cast in silver, and finally, the gemstones are carefully set. Every step of the process is done by hand, ensuring the highest level of quality and artistry.

The "Auguries of Innocence" collection was brought to life by JUN SHI in April 2015 in Florence, Italy. The designer drew inspiration from William Black's poem of the same name, which speaks of seeing the world in the smallest of things and finding eternity in a fleeting moment. JUN SHI aimed to capture the beauty of nature and memories in the form of jewelry, allowing wearers to hold onto precious moments forever.

Overcoming the challenge of translating abstract symbols into tangible memories, JUN SHI successfully created a collection that embodies the power of peace and love for the world. Each piece serves as a reminder to appreciate and be grateful for the beauty that surrounds us.

The "Auguries of Innocence" collection has received recognition for its exceptional design. In 2016, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. This prestigious award honors designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving the quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.
