Like mountain peaks with clean outlines,
lustrous and vivid colors seep through the facets of the gemstones.

Tinge collection parades tinted gemstones mainly in sugarloaf cut.

It is said that sugar cubes used to be pyramid-shaped before it becomes what we mostly see today, and sugarloaf cut takes its name from that.

With an apex higher than a cabochon, it is necessary to ensure that the gemstone is free of inclusions or cracks, and good quality gemstones in sugarloaf cut resemble a delectable lump of melted sugar.

 

Tinge collection's jewelry form emphasizes 5 curved facets that interact with light and shadow when held up to the light at different angles. The textures carefully crafted plays a crucial role in displaying the contours of the jewelry.

Especially with rings, a constant object for admiration at the fingers, one tends to become more aware of bodily changes as their fingers shrink and swell, moist and dry with changing seasons. Putting on a piece of jewelry sometimes inadvertently leads us to self discovery and care.

 

When designing a piece of jewelry, I tend to sketch them with a sharp pencil instead of doing it digitally. Even though it is more time consuming, there is something about manual sketching that holds the essence absent in the digital world.

 

Bigger gemstones measuring 7mm x 7mm tend to look more impressive on the fingers,

while the smaller ones are great accents as earrings.

 

Every design goes through numerous thought processes to achieve an aesthetic and functional balance, such as the metal proportion, and the size and color of the gemstones.

Every design is actualized while imagining them with outfits through the different seasons and occasions.

 

Adding a hint of color at your fingers,
a warmth that brightens up the commonplace,
such is the tinge collection.
