Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan put down the green phantom crystal in her hand and looked up at her younger brother Zhou Guo.

He stood in front of the counter with a hint of anticipation and nervousness on his face, holding a crumpled piece of paper with some lines and symbols scribbled on it.

"Seeing flowers in the fog?" Zhou Wanwan frowned, took the paper and looked at it carefully, "What does this mean?"

Zhou Guo scratched his head and explained somewhat embarrassedly:

“It’s… a kind of hazy beauty, like looking at flowers through fog, you can’t see clearly, but you think it’s particularly beautiful.

I wanted to design a necklace that would make you feel like you were wearing it and yet it was still there."

Qianqian came over to take a look at the paper, then patted Zhou Guo on the shoulder with a smile, "Your idea is quite interesting, but it's not easy to design."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but she was a little hesitant. She had just come out of the design of the rime necklace.

Now I have to start a new project, and it was my brother’s request.”

"She looked at Zhou Guo and found that his eyes were full of expectation, so she sighed, "Okay, I'll help you think about it."

Zhou Guo immediately smiled, "Thank you, sister! I knew you were the best!"

Qianqian smiled and said, "Then you have to treat us to a good meal, otherwise our help will not be in vain."

Zhou Guo nodded repeatedly, "No problem! When the design is ready, I'll treat you to a feast!"

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian began to work on Zhou Guo's "Flowers in the Mist" necklace. They read a lot of information.

They tried to find a design element that could express a hazy beauty. However, no matter how they tried, they always felt that something was missing.

"How about we try using translucent crystal?" Qianqian suggested, "This way, when light passes through the crystal, it will create a hazy effect."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, picked up a translucent white crystal, and looked at it against the light. "I do feel something, but it's not enough."

Zhou Guo sat aside, watching them busy, feeling a little anxious, "Sister, how about we try a multi-layer design?

Like adding a layer of tulle to a necklace, or weaving metal wire to create a mist effect?

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, "This is a good idea!

We can try to use metal wire to weave a misty texture, and then match it with translucent crystals, the effect should be better. "

Qianqian also nodded in agreement, "Yes, this way it has both a hazy and layered feel."

The three of them immediately started working on the new design. Zhou Wanwan was in charge of drawing the sketch.

Qianqian started to select the appropriate metal wires and crystals, while Zhou Guo helped to sort out the materials and occasionally came up with some new ideas.

Over the next few days, the three of them stayed in the store almost every day, working overtime to modify the design.

They tried different ways of weaving the wire and adjusting the angles of the crystal cuts.

I even looked up some books about fog and light and shadow, trying to find more inspiration.

"I think we can try using crystals of different colors, so that there will be more layers when light passes through." Qianqian suggested.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, picked up a lavender crystal, and looked at it against the light. "This color is good. It has a dreamy feeling."

Zhou Guo also came over to take a look, his eyes lit up, "Yes, that's the feeling! Like a flower emerging from the mist, looming."

The three continued to work and finally completed the preliminary design sketch after a week.

Zhou Wanwan picked up her phone and sent a message to Zhou Guo’s friend, a jewelry designer, asking him to help with the design.

Not long after, the other party replied: “The design is good, but it feels a little lacking in impact.

You can try adding a center stone to the necklace, which will create a more visual focus.”

Zhou Wanwan looked at the phone screen, feeling a little hesitant. She turned to look at Zhou Guo and Qianqian, "He said we can add a main stone, what do you think?"
