Blue Daisy: A Multifunctional Earring Design by Teong Yan Ni

Winner of the Prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2019

The Blue Daisy earrings are not just a piece of jewelry, but a statement of style and versatility. The design allows the wearer to change the look of the earrings, from a simple stud to a dangle, or even a combination of both. This flexibility is a testament to Teong Yan Ni's innovative approach to design, making the earrings suitable for different occasions and moods.

The earrings are hand-fabricated and feature blue sapphire petals and yellow sapphires at the center, set in white metal. The petals are made unequal to give the design a sense of movement, as if the flowers are floating. The design's unique properties lie in its versatility and the contrast between the blue and yellow sapphires, which adds to its elegance and sophistication.

The design process involved numerous sketches, clay and paper cut models, and continuous discussions with the manufacturer. The technical aspects of the design, such as the size, weight, and functionality of the connectors and hooks, were carefully considered to ensure practicality and comfort for the wearer. The earrings were designed and produced in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, between June and August 2018.

Teong Yan Ni's design was inspired by the characteristics of the blue daisy flower. The choice of blue sapphires for the petals symbolizes hope, desire, and love, while the yellow sapphires in the center represent joy and pride. The design embodies the essence of the daisy flower, which is a composite of two flowers, symbolizing the intertwining of two entities representing true love or the ultimate bond.

The Blue Daisy earrings are not just a testament to Teong Yan Ni's innovative design approach, but also her commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The design was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in 2019, a recognition given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation. The Blue Daisy earrings are a perfect blend of elegance, versatility, and sophistication, making them a worthy winner of this prestigious award.
