Unique piece
is it possible to say a new word in such a hackneyed theme in jewellery art as butterflies?
Dickson Yewn, an artist from Hong Kong, gives an affirmative answer with his works. Each of his jewellery pieces is a story with a deep analysis of Chinese traditions and culture. In the project with butterflies, yewn did not limit himself to china, but decided to take a swing at the whole world. According to the artist, there is a lot of understatement in the subject of butterflies. "it's very strange," Yewn says, "that jewellers create orchids, Muscari and field daisies, but when it comes to butterflies, they make 'just butterflies' and can't specify what kind of species it is, where it lives. And yet all butterflies are very different and interesting." Dickson decided to remedy this and has already created 38 precious butterflies in one-to-one size and perfectly identifiable by species and even gender. There is a "Japanese emperor", a "red postman" and an "idea leuconoe" in the collection. The book that Dickson Yewn has published gives a detailed description not only of the jewellery, but of the butterfly itself — with size and habitat.
The jewellery is remarkable for more than its history alone. It is a stunning piece of jewellery with delicate pavé, gorgeous ebony workmanship and spring mechanisms that create the effect of wings fluttering.
Yewn plans to create 60 butterflies in total, according to the Chinese chronological system, the sixty-year cycle. The creation of each of the butterflies, as well as the pleasure of looking at them, is akin to meditation.
