Casting flower

casting work

I really like use casting technique and build up 3-dimensional flower into my jewellery. I took soft wax make flower, and I can find their outline is very natural and soft. Then, I cast them with sterling silver. I'm going to make a rubber mould and do amount of different size flowers.

Inspiration -Plum Blossom

In my culture, plum blossom symbolizes courage and hope because it blossoms first and bravely stands against the dangers of winter. Especially, the five petals of the plum blossom symbolize the 'five blessings', also known as the 'five happinesses' or 'five good fortunes'. These five blessings refer to longevity, wealth, health and composure, virture, and the desire to die a natural death in old age.
So, from past to today, many girls like to use plum blossom as decoration in their life.
