About Fabiana Whakakai

Ko te whakakai o te kakahu a Fabiana i hangaia na te faaururaa o te taiao. He peara hei waahanga o te natura, ka tiakina e tetahi tinana whakakotahi o waho na te koura me nga taimana, a koinei te tohu o te taiao. Ka peehia nga peara, ka hangai ki te ahua nui ki te nekehanga o tera nekehanga, ka whakahihiri i tenei rawa ka aro mai nga kaimakitaki. I tua atu, kua whakanohia nga peara ki muri i te ahua nui, na tenei huarahi, kaore i te whakaatuhia i te ahua me te whakakii i te kaimori. Ko te huinga koura, taimana, me nga peara kua hanga kotahitanga, he tohu ano mo te ngawari, heoi i te wa ano, complexiy.

Tags: Earrings, Fabiana, Gold, Jewelry, Pearl, jewelry design, Diamonds
Production 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.
Design 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".
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.
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.
Project Duration: The earring was designed in October 2019 in Tehran/Iran.
Operation Flow: 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.
