4. award
The functioning mobile phone entitled Frutto di Mare is probably our most successful piece to date. It has won numerous international awards and still arouses interest. Splendor Jewellery won its 4th trophy at the Tahitian Preal Trophy also known as the Jewellery-makers Olympics where this piece competed in the Male Jewellery category. The phone was constructed from 14k white and yellow gold. We kept virtually nothing except from the electronic elements of the original phone.
The precious metal shell of the phone was based on the shape a seashell from Greece which we embellished with pearls and hundreds of diamonds. The keypad of the phone is made of hand chiseled and engraved rock crystals showing asbestos needles. The phone functions fully, it has a rechargeable battery, a SIM card and careful attention was payed to adhering to the set radiation limits, signals and the insulation of the electronic parts. While the reconstruction of the mobile phone inside the gold shell far exceeds the boundaries of metalwork and thus was incredibly challenging, the IR port, vibrating alert,volume control and every other feature that characterized the original phone functions as it was intended to.
Three of us from Splendor-Jewellery spent no less than four months on the construction of the phone. We worked day and night as well as on weekends, but in the end a we managed to complete the piece just in time for the Tahitian Pearl Trophy, also known within the profession as "Jewellery-Makers Olympics" were we have won with numerous pieces since. We knew that this unique piece had the makings of a masterpiece creation... but only the first phone we had ever made.
Nem kevesebbet, mint 4 hónapot töltöttünk a készítésével 3-an. Éjszakákat és hétvégéket is feláldoztunk ez idő alatt, és végképp kimerített a munka, de éppen csak elkészült időre, hogy az ötvösök körében az "Ékszerészek Olimpiájának nevezett" tahiti gyöngy trófea versenyen részt vehessen, melyen díjak sokaságát nyertük el vele, majd a következő években is számos egyéb elismerést.
Tudtuk, hogy ez az alkotás életmű jellegű munka volt... de csak az első telefon amit készítettünk.
