Sapphire Pendant with Inner Fracture (Geonodes)

The Fall of a Pendant — Geometry Nodes Driven Metamorphosis

What if a single drop could carry the weight of memory?

This project explores the symbolic transformation of a sapphire pendant as it dissolves into a liquid form. Created entirely in Blender, the animation was driven by Geometry Nodes, without simulations or external effects.
The pendant, cracked and imperfect, slowly disintegrates — its fragments pulled inward toward a forming droplet, capturing a moment of loss, release, and rebirth.

Every step — from vertex masking to point movement, procedural textures, and final mesh reconstruction — was developed manually through node logic.
The result: a seamless flow from rigid geometry to fluid form.

This project includes:
• 🎬 Full animation of the pendant’s transformation
• 🔧 Node tree visualized with key technical notes
• 🧩 Focus on the core stage of the conversion
• 📷 High-resolution frames + 3D model of the pendant
• 🧠 Geometry Nodes only — no simulations
