RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In the first instance, The intent was to work with patterns in Islamic Persian architectures and designs, which all Iranians have grown up surrounded by , therefore it’s originally inherent in their knowledge of design.
The intention was trying to design a jewellery collection called wearable monuments ; taking into consideration different social,cultural or environmental subjects. Although all of them are masterpieces from an architectural point of view, only a few of them were chosen as designing inspiration due to their architectural values; The emphasis was mostly put on a specific subjects.
CHALLENGE: Through the designing process of the Wearable monuments collection, designer encontered two significant challenges. First,She tried to make pieces that not only to simplify delivering the main idea of the design, but also considering not complicating the making process and keeping the industrial aspect of the production simple.
Commitment and loyalty to the main artworks that were the inspiration resources of the collection was another challenging aspect of the design process,as well as the transformation of urban scale structure to a jewellery function and desired scale.
