Fairies

These earrings are asymmetric, which was inspired by the duality of Day and Night. One earring is depicted in white gold as Fairy of the Day, with diamond flowers and an emerald heart. The other earring, Fairy of the Night, is depicted in black gold, with a ruby heart and diamond stars. The design of the piece was combined with its technical side while maintaining it lightweight. First, a 3D model was created and grown by prototyping on a 3D printer. The cast was made in gold and polished. Then, 403 precious stones were fixed into the base product and the parts were connected.

Jupiter

Inside the Jupiter watch, steel spheres are rolling in hydraulically pressed channels, held in place by magnetic force. The wavelike dial is inset into the convex shaped crystal glass, which prevents the spheres from leaving their paths. A glass dome covering the top watch area transitions into the stainless steel casing seamlessly. With omission of a visible stem, watch hands or markings, there are no elements to distract from the time-telling spheres. Despite the absence of visible watch hands, a conventional quartz movement is being used to drive the planetary time indicator.

Lunar

Lunar is Robert's project for timepiece company ZIIIRO. This watch creates a tie between the design and the nature of the object. If it wasn't a watch that naturally moves sunwise, it wouldn't be possible to read it. The edges of two semi-circles moving in clockwise direction show hours and minutes, they are both leveled at the same height which creates a flat surface. By the interlocking shapes, hands and watch face become one to create a constantly changing graphic.

String in the Tail

String in the Tail is a unique design combining figurative and abstract design elements inspired by my love of Siamese fighting fish. The piece looks like a bangle but is also part bracelet with a 3 strand string of pearls as an adjustable catch. This piece is also completely hand made from reused 18ct white and yellow golds with the piece brought to life by using natural vivid fancy yellow diamonds contrasting with white diamonds and complemented with the 3 strands of grey pearls with satin yellow gold bead that make the adjustable catch.

Dandelion

The Dandelion Ring was designed after a thorough and closely observation of dandelion, consisted of a surrounded petals that with different details on it, whether if it's twisted, stoned, or carved with countless fine lines. In the jewelry designer Richard Wu's perspective, dandelion reminds him of the lights and freedom, two things he wants to bring to the wearer through the design at this post covid 19 era.

Planetary Ring

It's cool to wear asteroid debris on your body. At the same time, when your body moves, it will rotate like a planet with gravity and inertia. The round meteorite material has no electroplating anti-oxidation treatment, and the long-term wearing surface will produce an oxidation reaction, and the texture effect will change with time. The 925 silver support structure has no welding point with the meteorite and is linked with the bearing structure. The production, assembly, and after sales processes are sustainable and eco-friendly.
