I made some rough models for the jewelry pieces to see how it would fit on body. First I did in paper
a phoenix feather-like ring, with a nail cover—In ancient China, empresses use long and spiky nail protector to shield their long nails, it was a fashion back then.small wing-ring, open ring design…bigger wing ring…I think this size is a bit inconvenient for the person to do chores, and can be spiky thus might hurt herself or others, or clothes.
open ring with slightly differed design. This can grab the finger more firmly.
I also made a phoenix design choker with paper, however I forgot to take photo of it so I will upload the photo when I take one…
This grips my finger nicely. The wire I use is comparably soft and very easy to bend. However, for the actual piece, the material will be more rigid thus can maintain its shape better.I feel something evil is growingThis is the wire version of the nail ring. I find it a bit inconvenient to bend my finger but not to a very bad extent. I do have some rings that will limit my finger movements. Normally when I need to do something important I will just remove the rings temporarily.
Thinking of how replaceable elements in the jewelry may be like. Using “S” shape hooks to link.incomplete choker. the phoenix front part. I have altered the bird neck and head to lower position so not to hurt the neck.
HOWEVER, the protruding bird head is still very dangerous as I try it on my neck. The bird head will be hitting my chin when I lower my head. I do not wish it injured the user in anyway..So either I further shrink the sizeof the bird head, or I will make it into a more 2D head that is almost flattened on the choker.a simple choker I made to fit my neck.
