"Softness and Boundaries"—Pisces Floating Freely, Emotional Ease - Customized Goldsmith Hairpin

Creative Concept: 'Softness and Boundaries' — The fluidity of Pisces, emotions set free.  

The inspiration comes from love and boundaries within emotions, not getting lost in love, and remaining gentle in letting go. The imagery of Pisces playing symbolizes the flow and reflection of emotions, and the rose quartz round stone is like the moon in the water, expressing completeness and purity of intention. We transform this emotional imagery, which combines softness with strength, into the language of metalworking, carving out a silver hairpin that embodies both spirituality and emotional transformation, dedicated to souls willing to love and also willing to let go. 

Manufacturing Process: The Graceful Posture of Pisces 

1.Shape design and wax carving creation

Using Pisces and the lotus as core imagery, hand-drawn designs flow with a soft composition. In the wax carving stage, carving techniques are employed to present the intertwined form of fish and the blooming lotus, symbolizing the merging and release of inner emotions.

2. Casting transformation and silver material refinement.

After completing the wax model, the design is transformed into a pure silver entity using the lost-wax casting technique, with the pin body made of 925 silver and the setting using 999 silver, firmly embedding the central rose quartz round stone. After casting, it is repeatedly refined and polished to ensure the streamlined contour is soft and natural.

3. Fine polishing and spiritual infusion

Using different specifications of carving and polishing tools, the fish scales and the feeling of flowing water are intricately carved. After polishing, partial sulfide treatment is applied to give the texture more layers. The central embedded rose quartz round stone is purified and tuned to serve as the energy pivot for the heart chakra and the flow of emotions.

4. Polishing and oxidation treatment

Finally, the silver hairpin is finely polished, revealing a soft luster on the metal surface.

Spiritual meaning of the Double Brocade Flowing Hairpin 

This is not just a silver hairpin custom-made for others, but also a step towards the creator's self-healing and spiritual inward journey. Through metalworking, I have learned to find balance between 'softness and boundaries': softness no longer represents compromise, and setting boundaries does not mean alienation. Just like this hairpin, one side is warm and gentle, while the other side is firm and steadfast. Dedicated to those who are learning to love others and also learning to love themselves.
