“Weaving light, an ultra-fine poem.”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An 18K ball chain, cut and endlessly sparkling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before designing this Cluster series, I thought that if I could combine this ball chain like a bunch, I might even be able to paint a picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When designing jewelry, I first spend days imagining the finished piece in my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only when it takes shape and feels fully conceived do I begin the actual making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In truth, 70% of the design is complete in my imagination. The remaining 30% involves working with artisans to refine it\u2014ensuring structural integrity, preventing injury, avoiding fragility, and addressing various constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When creating the Cluster series, I recall that 30% was almost nonexistent. What I envisioned in my mind became the finished piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This owes much to the exceptional engineering skills of the artisans we collaborate with, but intuitively, I felt that combining balls of about 1.0mm in diameter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

meant any form could be expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first shape that came to mind was the form of the earring called Flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the ball chain is arranged, the linear chain becomes a surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It resembles woven fabric, appearing like a supple gold flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, by soldering the ends of the ball chain to create rigid straight sections,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and using these as the earring posts, a completely minimal item using only ball chain was completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This technique of solidifying chains was introduced in SHUN OKUBO’s early collections,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and when I tried it with ball chains this time, it worked exceptionally well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, on necklaces and bracelets, the overlapping ball chains took on the role of a top charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the necklace named “Tie,” the lengths of the two chains hanging from the top were varied,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

recreating the silhouette of classical high jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though ball chains possess a rugged quality, the reflections created by the cuts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bring out the gold’s brilliance and sparkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, its minimalist air allows for the construction of a design that is utterly contemporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A design poetic as if weaving light, yet possessing a concreteness like pixels on a screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHUN OKUBO’s “Cluster” has been released as a new collection embodying the brand’s appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
