Brief - To design a Jewelry from the unconventional material, like paper, leather, bamboo, pipe, wire etc. The idea is to explore and understand the culture of the chosen material. To self discover and analyse physical and chemical property of material,characterises, limitation etc. So I chose the “Areca Nut “ it is also known Betel Nuts. Areca nut Jewelry Project is an totally new concept for me, and have never seen something like this before, this is an outcome of our Classroom project.
The Jewelry developed during the course are theme based, innovative, experimental research and concept based. It was a eureka for me when I found the word of beautiful texture in Areca nut. I was stunned with the quality of texture I got, every fiber was clean and clear, I got hypnotised and got attracted with the beauty of the cris-cross natural biomorphic fibre. I decided to make eco-friendly structural shaped natural jewelry & am still exploring its various possibilities with the nuts.
