Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat in her jewelry store with an order in her hand. Her store was filled with all kinds of jewelry, from simple silver jewelry to complex gold jewelry, each piece was the result of her hard work.

But today's order made her feel unprecedented pressure.

"What's wrong?" Qianqian walked into the store and saw Zhou Wanwan with a worried look on her face, and asked with concern.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head and sighed, "Qianqian, you came at the right time. I just received an order from Hu Ke, who wanted me to design a necklace with colorful jewels in the shape of a dragonfly."

Qianqian raised an eyebrow, "Dragonfly? That sounds interesting."

"Yes," Zhou Wanwan said with a wry smile, "but you know, the wings of a dragonfly are transparent. It's too difficult for me to use jewelry to express this transparency and to match it with colorful effects."

Qianqian walked to the counter, picked up the order and looked at it. "Hu Ke's requirements are quite specific. Not only must it be colorful, but it must also have a sense of layering. Wanwan, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head. "I have no idea at all. That's why I asked you to help me and see if you have any good ideas."

Qianqian smiled and said, "Wanwan, you are always so humble. However, since you asked me for help, I have to think about it carefully."

The two sat in the store and began to discuss.

Qianqian suggested using gems of different colors to show the layering of the dragonfly's wings, but Zhou Wanwan thought that might appear too flashy.

"How about we try using gradient colors?" Qianqian suggested, "From light to dark, or from dark to light. This way we can show the sense of layering without looking too fancy."

Zhou Wanwan nodded. "That's a good idea. But what color should we use?"

Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Dragonfly wings are usually blue, but we can use different shades of blue to create a sense of hierarchy. For example, light blue, sky blue, dark blue, layering them one by one should have a good effect."

After listening to Qianqian's advice, Zhou Wanwan felt a little more at ease, but she still felt an indescribable uneasiness.

She knows that designing a necklace is not just about matching colors, but also about choosing shapes and materials, and every detail may affect the final effect.

"Qianqian, what do you think we need to consider?" Zhou Wanwan asked.

Qian Qian pondered for a while, "I think we also need to consider the overall style of the necklace. Hu Ke wants a dragonfly necklace, but the shape of a dragonfly is complex. If we add too many details, it may appear too complicated."

Zhou Wanwan nodded. "You're right. So how should we simplify it?"

Qianqian smiled and said, "We can start with the wings of a dragonfly. Although the wings of a dragonfly are complex, we can use simple lines to express its outline, and then fill it with color. This way, we can retain the characteristics of the dragonfly without making it look too complicated."

After listening to Qianqian's advice, Zhou Wanwan suddenly felt enlightened.

She picked up a pen and began to sketch on paper. Qianqian watched from the side and offered some suggestions from time to time.

The two discussed for a long time and finally drew a satisfactory sketch.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the sketch and was full of confidence. She knew that this necklace would satisfy Hu Ke.

Qianqian sighed, picked up the sketch left by Zhou Wanwan, and looked at it carefully.

She knew that this necklace was very important to Zhou Wanwan, and she couldn't let her down.

So Qianqian started to get busy in the store. She found gemstones of various colors and began to try different combinations.

She knew that this necklace was not only to fulfill the order, but also to bring hope to Zhou Wanwan.

Time passed minute by minute, and Qianqian finally found a satisfactory combination.

She used three colors of gemstones, light blue, sky blue and dark blue, and stacked them up layer by layer according to the lines on the sketch, eventually forming a lifelike dragonfly.

Zhou Wanwan hurried into Master Sun Yat-sen's studio, holding the sketch tightly in her hand.

Master Zhongshan is a well-known jewelry designer in the industry, famous for his unique creativity and superb craftsmanship.

Zhou Wanwan knew that if she could get his guidance, the design of the necklace might have a turnaround.

"Master Zhongshan, I'm sorry to bother you." Zhou Wanwan bowed slightly, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

Master Zhongshan raised his head and saw the sketch in Zhou Wanwan's hand, and smiled slightly, "Wanwan, what's the matter?"

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and handed the sketch to Master Zhongshan. "I received an order. The customer asked me to design a dragonfly necklace. Qianqian and I have discussed it for a long time, but I always feel that the dragonfly I designed lacks some agility."

Master Zhongshan took the sketch, looked at it carefully for a while, and nodded. "Your idea is good, but it is indeed as you said, lacking some agility. The wings of a dragonfly should be light and transparent. Although your design has a good sense of layering, it is not light enough."

Zhou Wanwan's heart sank after hearing what Master Zhongshan said, "Then what should we do?"

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can start with the material. The dragonfly's wings are not only a matter of color, the choice of material is also very important. Have you ever considered using translucent gems?"

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. "Translucent gem?"

"Yes," Master Zhongshan nodded, "For example, moonstone or crystal. These gems have a hazy beauty and can better express the transparency of dragonfly wings."

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully, "What about the color? We used blue before, but it didn't seem lively enough."

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "You can try to use gradient colors, but not just blue. The wings of a dragonfly will show a colorful effect under the sun. You can try to use gems of various colors to show this effect in a gradient way."
