Jewelry is not just simple objects that are used for decoration purposes. They contain not only various contemporary backgrounds but also cultural contexts. 

Jewelry demonstrates the cultures, values, and lifestyles that people pursued during a specific period. The values that Jewelry holds were similar to that of wine tasting culture.

A long history of wine-tasting culture directly shows the cultural preferences of people. Furthermore, some rules exist within the wine culture. If one puts this jewelry on, one can replicate the act of holding a wine glass. This indicates creating new cultures.

The central concept for this work was first motivated by the upper class’s wine culture.

Like trivial actions of our daily lives that we are unaware of can lead to the butterfly effect of society’s atmosphere, when we wear this object, we remember the act of grabbing a wine glass without any outside input. The act of grabbing a wine glass affects the person’s speech and actions.
