Design concept one

With this poem and design I have tried to express a relationship between a girl and her father, who now find themselves in a situation where she is in abusive marriage and he has decided to turn a blind eye to the matter as the husband has decided to pay a penalty for his behaviour and the father has accepted the money since he doesn’t want to be placed in a situation where he has to allow her daughter to come home and be forced to return the labola money.
Ndongeni, S. (2018) CAD/CAM convertible ring pendent
I have been trying to express the idea how the young girl would now feel that her father’s love has now been a situation of disappointment and is no longer the promise of love which she once knew it to be. I have tried to capture this idea in jewellery design by having an interchangeable ring pendant which would embody this shift of love, while at the same time I have designed the pendant positioning of the heart to be upside down, this was done so that it would depict a betrayal of love and the disappointment it has now become. I have included many round gemstones around the heart, which are the indication the beauty which surrounds her life; however they are unable to comfort her now downcast heart.

I have included below some of design aspects and specifications for the piece.
