In the long history of human beings looking up at the sky, hot air balloons have become a metaphorical image in artistic creation. The moment a hot air balloon rises is a delicate and fragile balance between the gravitational pull of the earth and the rising heat. The bulging sphere is like a container filled with dreams, while the hanging basket carries humanity's ambition to escape from the mundane world. Every ascent to the sky is a throw towards the unknown, and the process itself contains all the value. The value of dreams lies not only in their realization, but also in the process of surpassing oneself in pursuit.

When the designer turns the gaze to the boundless sky, the hot air balloon transforms into a fairy dancing between the fingers. The balloon skeleton, delicately outlined in 18K gold and the enamel glaze solidifies into a miniature celestial phenomenon on the spherical surface, as if forever sealing floating dreams within a square inch. Under the hot air balloon, the basket is filled with diamond stars. White Fritillaria, cut and ground into clouds, surrounding the balloons and the carefully selected Tahitian baroque pearl shines with charming luster. Diamonds embellish the basket frame with star studded craftsmanship, resembling an undiminished morning star.

When the brooch lightly touch the wearer's chest, they have a dual sky: one flowing above their head and the other shining in front of their collar. Those unrealized flying dreams have finally found the most elegant dwelling - in the eternal gaze of humanity towards the sky, jewelry has become the most private flying machine, carrying our thoughts and soaring forever.

Hang the floating moment in front of collar, so that every heartbeat triggers the tremors of the clouds and balloons, bringing the wearer into an eternal romantic narrative. This brooch proves to all who look up that the farthest sky can also become the most intimate treasure. When the balloons and cloud settle on the anchor - it turns out that humanity's infatuation with the sky will eventually land in a beautiful way.
