Gems of the Imagination by Ariel YC Tsai

Necklace / OnBody NewTalentsByKlimt02

Ariel YC Tsai. Necklace: Gems of the Imagination, 2018. Paper, old jewellery.. 7 x 9 x 2 cm. From series: The Power of Transformation. My piece imagines a bespoke service that Swarovski could provide to customers returning tired jewellery. Inspired by the traditional gouache painting of fine jewellery, highly appreciated for its skill. I replaced each setting in the necklace, usually a home for a stone, with gouache paintings of the original ring that I dissembled to make the necklace. From a distance, the painting almost looks like a new piece of jewellery..
