01 — The brief, in words only
“A client who never wears matching pairs asked for asymmetric drops — “one bud, one fruit.” Movement mattered more than size.”
Client briefs are anonymised and abstracted. Original reference images are never published — they stay in the private project record.

How the design settled
- R1Round one balanced the pair by stone size; CAD showed the swing was uneven.
- R2Round two rebalanced by weight instead: 0.2 g difference per ear, verified on the scale before setting.
- R3Approved with hand-textured cups that catch light without facets.
