Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The most interesting feature of this piece of jewelry is the suspended pearl, which with every motion, swings loosely in the main shape and strikes the viewer's attention. The combination of gold, stones, and pearls implies simplicity yet, at the same time, the complexity that is sensational.
- Inspiration
- The name Fabiana has been chosen regarding its meaning: bean grower. A pearl as a symbol of nature is protected by an exterior gold case in a more or less beehive-shaped form which is quite precious itself, and It stresses the importance of nature.
- Research
- After allocating a long period to research about the conceptual aspect of the designing process and jewelry fashion, numerous sketches were drawn in order to reach the final shape. Furthermore, the finalized sketch recreated using 3D modeling software.
- Challenge
- Jewelry design is a form of art with which we are integrating into our daily lives. It enables you to combine your creativity and skills to make an imaginative and iconic piece more than forms and shapes. The main challenge was creating a piece to depict the formless shape into a conceptual form, especially regarding standard units and executing limits. As Herbert Edward Read once said in the book "The meaning of art": "the work of art is in some sense a liberation of the personality. We contemplate a work of art, and immediately there is a release of feelings and heightening".
- Realization and Technology
- The dangling Pearl is connected to a streak and a hook that is suspended from the main shape. The main shape can be made in two parts and attached together after other parts have been placed.
- Operation and Interaction
- The earring has been designed to be simple to use with finely detailed hooks. Moreover, the smooth movements of the pearl in the main shape are intended to have a dazzling beauty in its golden cage. It could be eye-catching in ceremonies.
- Project Duration and Location
- The earring was designed in October 2019 in Tehran/Iran.

- Width: 22.09mm x Depth 7.52mm x Height 23.43mm. The whole piece of jewelry weighs 6.06 grams, containing 27 round gems in 1.3x1.3mm sizes preferred to be diamonds and a pearl which weighs 0.87 grams.
