| DESIGN NAME: Spiralis PRIMARY FUNCTION: Necklace INSPIRATION: During the time of the pandemic, the designer got himself a type of water plant; Juncus ''Spiralis UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The unique feature of this necklace is that, unlike most pendants that have one connection spot, the Spiralis pendant is hung from three different spots where the hairs swirl around the solid rope. The designer finds asymmetrical shapes much more beautiful, and to him, there is still a balance in unequal visual weight. The dangling blue sapphires inside the necklace is another distinctive feature that has been designed in complementary to the concept behind the work. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The pendant and the rope have been considered to be made of white gold, and unheated blue sapphire is the best match for this design. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The necklace was designed in June 2021 in Tehran/Iran and finished in November 2021. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This necklace requires both program design and handmaking. The gold wires around the rope holding pearls and setting the sapphires on pearls need to be made by hand. Other parts have been designed by designing programs such as Pixologic ZBrush and Gemvision matrix. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Pendant dimensions: Width 20 mm x Height 78mm. Pendant's weight: 30.81 grams Other parts of the necklace including: 26 Akoya and south sea pearls in the diameter range of 4.5 to 8.5 millimeters. 15 round cut unheated blue sapphires. 0.05 ct each. 2 marquise cut unheated blue sapphires. 0.25 ct each. 3 pear cut unheated blue sapphires. 0.5 To 4 ct each.

Since he got a juncus plant for himself he was mesmerized by the beautiful curly shape and its unique personality and features as a living being. the designer has drawn multiple sketches and developed his idea from a primary pendant to a necklace considering the whole piece's harmony and visual properties of the plant and combined them with his imagination. After multiple sketches, the finalized sketch was recreated using 3D modeling software. CHALLENGE: In order to find better results for sculpting the woman's head, The designer had to sketch and sculpt it numerous times until he could get a satisfying result that was closer to his imagination and looked more realistic yet magical. Based on the final sketch, the designer wanted smooth locks of hairs growing around a rope and holding the head suspended in balance. The spiralis necklace's primary design was simpler at first and it got developed step by step in favor of the concept. The rope has been designed in a firm and solid style to support the pendant also many different shapes and angles of the hair clusters have been tested.
