Core concept
For all those imperfectly perfect souls out there
Nothing in this world is perfect, but we can still be perfectly aligned, just like how the 2 different pear shape stones align together to create a pretty imperfect heart shape.
The round stones signify that we can still shine brightly even if we are imperfect.
Design Inspiration
Inspired by the imperfect heart shape created by putting 2 different pear shape stones as close as possible.
When I first decided to start Kiraful, I know I wanted to use this imperfect heart shape design that I drew in class a few years ago as one of my first designs, exploring the theme of imperfection. I wanted to convey the message that we can still shine even if we are imperfect, by adding round stones on both sides of the heart.
However, keeping it on a straight plane seems a bit boring to me, and I started to brainstorm different ways to bring this idea to life. That is when I think of the shape of our mouth when someone smile gently at us, like a broad gentle U shape. It takes quite a while and several tries to get the exact gentle U shape that I want.
I hope we can all accept our imperfect perfect self, shine brightly and purely like those white topaz stones, carrying that gentle smile everyday, just like the broad gentle U shape of the pendant.
“You can still shine being the imperfectly perfect you.”
Other design note
While the bracelet had kept the original design of the pendant, the necklace pendant has a slightly altered design at both ends. The prong setting design for the round stones at both ends were slightly altered so that the necklace pendant will not flip over when worn.
Styling idea
Necklace
The pendant is designed to sit nicely between your collar bone, resting against your skin, so that the white topaz stones can sparkle prettily when light hits on it.
Bracelet
For bracelet with a U shaped charm design, the charm will tend to flip upwards if you wear the bracelet tightly around your wrist. I will recommend you to wear it loosely around your wrist, allowing the stones on the bracelet to shine when light hits on it.
