This multi-purpose set chain named " Alayavijnana " is inspired by the "Eighth consciousness" in Buddhism - "Alayavijnana ", which is divided into three parts: necklace, pendant and brooch. It draws on the Buddhist implication that "Alayavijnana" is the foundation and root of all beings, symbolizing infinite consciousness with layers of interlocking metal structures, and interspersed with antique jewelry carves and modern colored gems, symbolizing the past, present and future, conveying multiple aesthetics through the ages. The designer sets the exquisite structure on the set chain with high attainments, so that it can be disassembled into a necklace, pendant, brooch three parts, and can also be combined into a luxury necklace to wear. The whole jewelry with golden 18-karat gold, elegant crystal purple, rich tourmaline red collocation, cold color gems to be embellished, to achieve the harmonious unity of classical gentle and modern luxurious style. The standard geometric metal shape contrasts strongly with the soft irregular flower lines, giving a strong visual effect. The work is inspired by the philosophical concept in traditional Chinese culture - the storehouse of memory ideology, which contains the cycle of life and the accumulation of human emotions. It is worth noting that the purple crystal flowers in this work are derived from an antique Georgian lamp, which was used after restoration. Ancient works of art take on a new glow, just as the source of Alaiya knowledge can preserve the experience of the past and, under the right conditions, manifest all kinds of material and spiritual phenomena. "Alayavijnana" represents another new level of artistic creation, the designer tried to explore the possibilities of jewelry with the work, rather than just emphasize its decorative function, to expand the boundaries of jewelry creation. In addition, all the carvings, metals and gems in the work can be disassembled and recycled to achieve social value in a recyclable manner.
