Process
After the battle with my first piece, I continued with my second. I would go back to my first piece at a later stage.
The Design Process.
The design of the piece went through multiple changes. and various design development from something that although 3D was in actual fact quite two dimensional. After playing around with it for a while going back and forth though design and what was coming from my first piece, I eventually discovered a way in which created the piece to become more volumetric.

The Manufacturing Process.
After Prepping the necessary wire needed.
1.00mm square wire and 0.5mm round wire, along with granules. the process slowly began.
Using the CAD technical drawings, it allowed me to create the main structure fairly simply and quickly with the main structures complete for both earrings in a day and a half, being able to start on the "molecule" design fairly soon allows me to figure out any further complications I might have.

The above figures are images of the main structure being built and put together.
The molecule design inspired from the crystal lattice structure of crystaline structures is then applied to the main structures before applying them in a 3 dimensional form

This piece is currently still under manufacture.
