00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,500
My name is Jonathan Yun and I'm a jeweler based in Penang.
2
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:19,000
I sell handmade, mostly silver jewelry.
3
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:25,500
I've got three main ranges, the coral ocean based on my diving experience,
4
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:33,000
the Eden, based on the garden, and of course I have the vintage range based on the Peranakan jewelry.
5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,500
I have to draft the design out first and do it on a working paper.
6
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
After that I paste it on the flat sheet like this, and then saw out the individual parts.
7
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:55,000
It takes very long to cut out something like this because the patterns are very intricate.
8
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:06,000
So if I want to shape them, I shape the individual parts. This is a flower part.
9
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
After we file the parts.
10
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
As you can see, when we are doing soldering, the metal becomes blackened.
11
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:31,000
That's alright because you can dunk it in the acid.
12
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
The metal is polished now.
13
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:43,500
This is the main body.
14
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:48,000
I'm going to put them together again.
15
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So it's made out of multiple parts in the front.
16
00:01:56,500 --> 00:02:02,000
This is the finished product. It's just a different design, but basically the concept is the same.
17
00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:11,000
Peranakan is basically a mash-up between the Malay and Chinese cultures.
18
00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:24,000
My maternal grandmother lived like a nyonya. She would wear the brooches and wear the kebaya. So we grew up with that.
19
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
This is the cutest and the smallest.
20
00:02:32,250 --> 00:02:35,500
Some of them are tall and elegant like this one.
21
00:02:37,250 --> 00:02:41,000
This one has got a lot of personality.
22
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:50,000
The peak shape that is pointing to as a heart is the mother's heart, because this is a mother's brooch.
23
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:54,000
They are newly designed, newly made. So they are not replicas.
24
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
It's my way of contributing to the society that I came from.
25
00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:08,000
Making this is to keep the design alive.
