Reborn Troops

"This is an interesting idea," Zhou Wanwan said, "but we need some time to design and produce it."

"It's okay, I can wait," Zhou Xiaomin said with a smile, "I believe you can produce a work that satisfies me."

After seeing Zhou Xiaomin off, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian devoted themselves to design again.

They began to study various designs of small clocks, trying to find a solution that could be integrated into the necklace without appearing out of place.

However, as time went on, they found that the task was much more difficult than they had imagined.

The addition of the clock not only affects the overall beauty of the necklace, but also makes the already complex design even more difficult to control.

"Wanwan, I think we may need to reconsider this," Qianqian said a little frustrated.

The addition of the clock makes the necklace too complicated, we may need to simplify some elements.”

Zhou Wanwan nodded, she also realized the problem. "You're right, we may need to redesign it."

Just when the two were in trouble, footsteps were heard again at the store door.

This time, a strange young woman came in. She was wearing a simple black dress and had a tired look on her face.

"Excuse me, is this Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store?" asked the young woman.

"Yes, I'm Zhou Wanwan," Zhou Wanwan stood up, "How can I help you?"

The young woman hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard that you can customize jewelry here. I would like to ask you to design a necklace for me."

"Of course," Zhou Wanwan said with a smile, "What kind of design do you want?"

The young woman took a deep breath, as if collecting her thoughts.

“I wanted a necklace that represented my past and present. It needed to have the marks of time, but also the glow of hope.”

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian looked at each other and realized what the young woman wanted.

It is somewhat similar to Zhou Xiaomin's theme. Perhaps they can find inspiration from this new design.

"We can help you design it," Zhou Wanwan said, "but we need some time to think and design it."

The young woman nodded, "It's okay, I can wait."

After seeing the young woman off, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian sat down again and began to think about how to combine the two different themes.

They knew that this was not only a design opportunity, but also a challenge.

"Wanwan, do you think we can combine these two themes?" Qianqian asked.

“Perhaps we can design a necklace that can express both ‘scars cut by time’ and ‘traces of time and the light of hope’.”

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, she felt that this idea had great potential. "We can give it a try, maybe this is the breakthrough we need."

The two of them devoted themselves to design again, and began to try to combine the two themes.

Trying to find a design that can express both the pain of time and the light of hope.

As time goes by, their designs gradually take shape. A new necklace is born in their hands.

It bears the traces of time and the light of hope, the pain of scars and the beauty of glass fragments.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian hurried to Master Zhongshan's studio with their new designs.

Master Zhongshan is an internationally renowned jewelry designer whose works are known for their unique creativity and exquisite craftsmanship.

Zhou Wanwan has always regarded him as her mentor and idol. When she encountered the problem this time, the first thing she thought of was to seek his help.

"Teacher Zhongshan, we have encountered some difficulties and hope you can give us some guidance." Zhou Wanwan said respectfully and handed the design drawings to Master Zhongshan.

Master Zhongshan took the drawing, looked at it carefully for a while, and frowned slightly.

“Your design is very creative, but it seems a bit too complicated.”

He said slowly, "The most important thing in jewelry design is simplicity and beauty. Too many complicated elements will weaken the overall effect."

Qianqian nodded, "We are also aware of this problem, but we don't know how to simplify it."

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, “Design is like painting, sometimes less is more.

You need to find a balance between expressing the theme and maintaining aesthetics.”

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment, "Then how should we adjust it?"

"First, you need to determine what the core theme of the necklace is."

Master Zhongshan said, "Is it the trace of time, or the light of hope? Or is it both?"

Qian Qian replied: "We hope that both can be expressed, but without appearing to conflict."

Master Zhongshan nodded, "Then we need to find a unified way of expression.

You might consider using a material that can both show the traces of time and symbolize the light of hope.”

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, "You mean, we can use a special material?"

"That's right," said Master Zhongshan, "For example, you can use a gem with a gradient effect.

The transition from dark to light colors symbolizes the passage of time and the rise of hope.”

Qianqian said excitedly: "This is a great idea! We can try using sapphire.

The transition from dark blue to light blue symbolizes the transition from darkness to light.”

Master Zhongshan smiled and nodded, "Very good, you already have a direction.

Next, you will need to think about how to incorporate this material into the design of the necklace. Remember, the design should be simple, but with a sense of structure.”

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian immediately began to redesign, incorporating the gradient effect of sapphire.

To the pendant part of the necklace, some tiny crystals are added to the chain, symbolizing the light of hope.
