Taj Bracelet

Taj Bracelet is an innovative piece of jewelry that redefines traditional Oriental aesthetics through contemporary design and advanced manufacturing techniques. Created by French designer Fatima Dahmani, this sophisticated accessory showcases a harmonious blend of Islamic geometric patterns and modern 3D technology, featuring a mesmerizing transformation from simple geometric forms to intricate three-dimensional lace-like structures. The design draws profound inspiration from Indian jewelry traditions and Islamic architectural motifs, particularly incorporating the aesthetic principles of four intersecting circles that unfurl into delicate floral patterns. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, with options for white or rose gold variations, the bracelet demonstrates exceptional technical prowess in its creation process, utilizing advanced jewelry design software and precise 3D printing technology for wax casting. The piece measures 75mm in width, 8mm in depth, and 6mm in height for its small size variant, though it offers customization possibilities to accommodate individual preferences. This remarkable fusion of traditional aesthetics and contemporary fabrication techniques earned recognition at the A' Design Award competition, receiving the Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category for its innovative approach to cultural heritage preservation through modern design. The bracelet's distinctive characteristic lies in its ability to capture the essence of universal heritage while challenging conventional codes of oriental jewelry, encouraging wearers to express their individuality through its bold yet elegant appearance. The design process involved overcoming significant technical challenges in creating complex 3D patterns that could be successfully translated into delicate wax prints while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
