Jeweluxe x Singapore Sogetsu Association: Inspire High Tea , For An Ode To Nature was held on 5th October, 3pm at Tent@Ngee Ann City, Civic Plaza with a Sogetsu Ikebana Demonstration by Mr, Bernard Tay, Riji, Sogetsu School Japan.

Among his inspirations for his pieces were: an elegant modern-day ring designed with curvaceous petals and a necklace made of geometrically cut stones.

For the ring, Mr. Tay was inspired by the accentuated curves, thus created a container made of recycled white plastic bags, mimicking the ring's shape. He used preserved bracken ferns shaped by wire to represent the embedded emerald, whilst orchids embodied the surrounding purple sapphires.

For the necklace, Mr. Tay fashioned a geometric shape out of bamboo, which he spray painted gold, adding materials that complemented the colours in the necklace.
