Concept
A jewel inspired by the “blow balls” of Dandelion flowers, by its beauty, finesse, which vanishes in the wind, feeling an almost hypnotic attraction toward these little seeds with parachutes.


Design
The Dandelion seed head are geometrically complicated parts that follow the Fibonnacci rules in the seeds position. We have created a wearable brooch considering the best fit and balance with the body.

Process
The result is a stunning piece of jewelry with great detail, robust despite its apparent fragility, and itself creates a fascinating shadow play.
