The Link Jewellery by Jelena Dinic

Home > Winners > #144381




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
The Link

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Jewellery

INSPIRATION:
The Moon is the bond between two people who are miles apart. If they only look up at the Moon at the same time, it will be their link to each other. Connection with loved ones who are far away and who they think of when they see the Moon. Carrying this Link with them through the jewellery, sharing the same moonlight.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Link is a fashion ring accompanied by a pair of earrings and a pendant. The idea was to use the concept of "link" and its primary meaning of connecting, as being a part of something bigger - the chain. It is combined with the symbolism of the Moon which, according to some interpretations, also connects. Both motives are presented in the head shape as well as the shank which is composed of Moon shaped links differently sized and positioned, forming an open shank.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The ring is a piece of jewellery worn by almost every person on the planet. This piece, along with the earrings and pendant, can be worn every day and on special occasions because of its simplicity and anatomical design. What makes this ring practical is its open shank which allows the size to be adjusted.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The idea of creating this project arose in July 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic when traveling was made difficult which made seeing people in other countries a challenge. After months of careful planning, the jewellery was 3D modeled and rendered in November 2021. The entire process took place in Nis, Serbia.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
The ring and the accompanying earrings and pendant were first hand sketched and then modeled in the Gemvision Matrix software with the idea of being directly cast after 3D printing into a 925 Sterling Silver alloy or a 14 k white gold alloy, as well as any other metal used in the jewellery industry, and finished with a high gloss polish.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
The inner radius of the ring is 17.8 mm, the head width is 17.1 mm, the shank varies from 2.9 mm to 8.3 mm. The weight of this piece is estimated at 5.27 g (925 Sterling Silver). The earrings are comprised of two elements joined with a jump ring. They are 25.3 mm long and 14.7 mm wide. The estimated weight is 2.8 g per pair (925 Sterling Silver). The pendant is 28.9 mm long, 28.9 mm wide and is comprised of two elements joined with a jump ring. Its weight is estimated at 1.9 g.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Over the course of history, time has shown that jewellery is used as a form of self expression. This is why people buy, wear and become attached to jewellery based on the symbolism those pieces carry, but the personal symbolism which people create through their connection with the jewellery is crucial, as is the story which each individual has and which stands behind the jewellery’s true immaterial value.

CHALLENGE:
The motif of the Moon has always been an inspiration to artists from different spheres of art so it’s difficult to implement something so frequently exploited into something new while avoiding being misinterpreted as biased towards any cultural, racial, national or religious group. The Moon is a universal motif. Therefore, there is still room to bring it closer to people in another way and for us to connect through something we have all always held near, in this time of overall lack of connection.

I am absolutely thrilled to see such a creative and unique piece of jewellery! The Link is a stunning design that manages to capture the perfect balance between modernity and timelessness. The way Jelena Dinic chose to use different shapes and materials to create an overall look that is both delicate and strong is truly inspiring. It is a design that I can easily imagine being a statement piece for any special occasion. Congratulations to Jelena Dinic for their well-deserved success!

What a breathtaking piece of jewellery! The Link is truly a masterpiece and a work of art. The concept of connecting two people who are miles apart is so powerful and beautiful. The idea that they can share the same moonlight, even when they are not together, is a beautiful sentiment that is captured perfectly in this design. The craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating this jewelry is outstanding. Every detail captures the emotion of the concept and brings it to life. This piece truly is a tribute to the bond of love between two people, and I am so inspired by it!

I am so impressed by Jelena Dinic's work, 'The Link'. It is a stunning piece of jewellery that speaks to me on a deeper level. The concept of 'link' and its primary meaning of connecting is so beautifully represented in the design of the ring, earrings and pendant. The idea of the moon being the bond between two people who are far apart is an incredibly powerful sentiment, and it is wonderfully captured in the shape of the shank and the head. This piece of jewellery captures the idea of self expression through jewellery, and that each individual has a story behind their connection to the jewellery. Jelena Dinic should be so proud of their accomplishment in winning the A' Design Award for this piece, as it is a truly stunning example of good design.

I am absolutely enthralled by this work. The concept of 'link' and the symbolism of the moon combined is wonderfully creative, and the execution of this design is simply stunning. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident in the head shape, the shank composed of differently sized and positioned Moon links, and the overall design. It is an incredibly beautiful piece of jewellery that carries a powerful message of connection through the symbolism of the Moon. Congratulations to the designer of this masterpiece!

This award-winning work showcases the creative use of the concept of connection and the symbolism of the Moon to create a stunning piece of jewellery. The use of different sizes and positioning of the Moon shaped links, forming an open shank, is truly unique. This piece of jewellery carries a personal symbolism and a story that stands behind its true immaterial value. It is a true testament to the power of jewellery to be used as a form of self-expression. Congratulations to the designer for such an exquisite work!
