The spirit of the Bow collection was designed with a flirtatious confidence for life, a happy fashionable Bow is a timeless stable piece of art to have in one's wardrobe. Celebrating memorable milestones is important, but to remind yourself that you are the gift is the treasure.
Mimi challenged her team to build the most realistic, precious jewelry Bow in existence. She wanted to mirror the look of an authentic bow tied with ribbon. In order to achieve its unique 3-dimensional and asymmetrical shape, the team spent hours experimenting. The artisans stretched, tied and knotted a variety of ribbons in order to visualize and replicate the precise folds and knot of an exquisite bow. Once the dips and curves of the ribbon were chosen, the jewelers began to play with clay molds to build and shape the final form. From there, the final wax mold solidified the design intended for production.
After Mimi’s approval,the jewelers fabricate a silver model. The team spent forty hours mapping the layout of every stone in a way that would best highlight the fluidity of the bow's curves. Next, the metalworkers pierced the labor-intensive azures across the silver mold. Azures are the visible design work on the front and back of a piece. It took Mimi's master jeweler forty hours to carve out the azures across the arcs of the bow. This included the front-facing holes to accommodate the stones and the honeycomb pattern on the back for decoration.
