Naomi stood there, taking deep breaths to relieve her tension.
Maisie turned her head and asked Kennedy, “What do you think?”
Kennedy rubbed his chin. “Incorporating carvings unique to the baroque design language into the jewelry is a great idea.”
The first drawing was that of a necklace, which had the pattern of a flower that was carved from jade. Its main body was made out of roses and lilies, and the middle was inlaid with other flowers and leaves of different sizes. The core of the flower and the base of the petals were formed by arranging rounded beads neatly. In order to make this design into a fine piece of jewelry, a necklace was indeed a very
suitable choice.
The second draft was a ring that had delicate carvings. The ring’s design was mainly based on the fireworks that had gone off in the night sky. The curly patterns found carved on the slender chrysanthemum petals looked clear, and the gemstones embedded in the stamens had to give off a beautiful hue and look extremely pure and clear, so the decision to go with a citrine topaz was impeccable as it would fully showcase the magnificence of this design.
Jewelry pieces that used chrysanthemums as the centerpiece of the design were rare, and the move to compare the blooming of a chrysanthemum to the explosion of a firework was straight-up pure art.
And the last design was also a ring, but the design looked more subtle. It was inspired by the mythical winged divine horse, Pegasus. The feathered wings that spread from the bottom of the ring went up along both sides of the ring and protruded from the shoulders. The carvings of the feathers started from
the outside of the ring but did not stop going when they reached the inside. And lastly, an emerald would be embedded in the prongs that extended from the wings, making the whole ring look elegant and regal. Maisie looked at Naomi. “I knew that you ould definitely do it with your rare talent for classical jewelry.”
Kennedy laughed out loud too. “It only took a week. This is truly amazing.”
Naomi smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”
Maisie returned the artwork to her. “Send them to the CAD department and ask them to make a sample drawing out of these drafts . I’ll then instruct them to adhere strictly to our instructions when it comes to fulfilling the requirements of your designs. After all, these three pieces of jewelry are the main pieces that Soul will release in the coming season. No mistakes will be allowed throughout the whole production process, so I’ll personally supervise the process and assist from the side from time to time.”
Naomi nodded. “Okay.”
Kennedy smiled after Naomi went out. “It seems that the daughter of Mr. Topaz is indeed someone who can endure hardships.
She might be able to manage things on her own when she gets the hang of how things work in the industry.”
“I wouldn’t be too sure about that.” “Why so?” Kennedy wondered. Maisie supported her forehead in one hand. Judging from how Naomi is reacting to things… It seems that she’s been trying to avoid social interactions as much as possible. “What she’s facing might not be categorized as a serious psychological issue. After all, nobody would even believe you if you were to go around the city, telling people that she’s spent more than a decade in a hospital bed.
“However, she had been isolated from the world for more than ten years before reconnecting with reality once again. Everything in this world has changed dramatically during that gap. Hence, it’ll take time for her to adjust to this new world.
“Her adaptation to social interactions is especially important, as that’s something a jewelry designer can’t avoid.
“But recently, rumors in the company have it that Naomi is a loner, and she has issues whenever it comes to dealing with other people. Several staff members have tried to invite her to go to the movies together, but she declined every single time.”
Kennedy pondered for a moment. “She’s been cut off from society for so long, so she may not know much about the topics that her peers share. I guess she’s probably worried that she will make a laughingstock out of herself.”
Maisie actually sensed it too.
‘Whenever I’m with Naomi, almost all the topics we talk about are related to jewelry design. Although both of us had gone out together the other day, Naomi was very quiet throughout the whole journey. At that moment, Naomi was devoting her full attention to carving the wax block under the guidance of the craftsman from the CAD department. Because her designs were mostly handcrafted, although most of their parts could be drawn out through the CAD software, the special pattern of the
carvings would still require manual work. The manual carvings would take at least one or two days. After all, the stencil had to be perfectly clean and free of any marks and scratches. Not to mention that the size of the carvings must be dead-one. Naomi would have to re-carve the whole thing from
scratch if she were to only make the slightest mistake in her career.
Maisie and Kennedy walked into the production room, stood outside the door, and watched Naomi as she carved her design very seriously. The craftsmen were all very patient with her, probably because no one would bear to reprimand someone of the younger generation who worked hard.
