About String in the Tail Dubaaqada Gacanta
String in the Tail waa dubaaqad gacan sidoo kale u adeegta sida qarax gacmeed. Naqshaddu waxay isku dartaa qaybo muuqaal iyo qaab-dhismeed abstract ah oo laga soo qaatay dhaqdhaqaaqa kalluunka dagaalyahanka ah ee Siamese. Saddex xarig oo lulu ah oo leh xabbad dahab ah ayaa sameeya qabsasho la beddeli karo, sidaas darteed dhererka waa la beddeli karaa si uu ugu habboonaado curcurka gacanta. Qaybta gebi ahaanba waxaa lagu sameeyay gacanta oo laga soo qaatay dahab cad iyo mid huruud ah oo dib loo isticmaalay oo ah 18 karat. Dheemman huruud ah oo dabiici ah ayaa loo dhigay iyaga oo ka soo horjeeda dheemman cad, luludana si tartiib ah ayay ugu jiiftaan maqaarka. Xardhista gacanta ayaa qaabaysa faahfaahinta jinniyada socda.

- Made from repurposed 18ct white gold using traditional jewellery making skill with new lazer welding techniques in order to mix the carved fi details with the clean straight diamond set edges. Enhanced metal carving skills in order to create the fluidity of the fin shapes that were not too thin .Difficulties occurred in selecting a perfect 156 matching natural yellow diamonds out of 450 diamonds. The catch took some consideration so the bangle can be adjusted.
- Research
- Research spent time studying the movement and decoration of siamese fighting fish and many hours sketching the layout of the design by hand drawing at scale. Lots of time spent perfecting the hand carving skill for the fin detail and silver prototype for the catch.
- Inspiration
- The fluid movement and eye catching flamboyance of the Siamese fighting fish , so hypnotising they are like dancers and wanted to create a piece that was flamboyant and captured the movement and flow, making the metal seem light , almost molten which is then turned into wristwear that is aesthetically stunning but also playful with the moveable string of pearl which is also the catch.I try to combine reality with abstract design.
