With no real intention to replicate reality or depict realistic features of a jewelry piece, the sculpture is made for a fictional character with specific needs. Fewer things about this piece excluding the fact of its existence are real. As the title is saying, creatures such as giants can be allergic* *a metaphor for weakness in everything even if it seems that some things are unbreakable.
The sculpture is posing a question of twisted values in between the qualities of materials.
The hardness of such a thing as a diamond becoming soft here is mirroring the idea of an
undestroyable being.
