About Midnight Tide Silsilad Qoorta
Midnight Tide waa silsilad qoorta ah oo laga sameeyay dahab cad oo 18 qiiraad ah oo lagu dhex dhejiyay dheemman. Silsiladdu waxay ka kooban tahay 79 qaybood oo si gaar ah loo qaabeeyay, mid kastaa waxaa loo shubay inuu qabto hawl gaar ah, waxaana loo qaabeeyay iyadoo laga duulayo lafaha bini'aadamka. Qaybahani waxay isku xidhmaan iyagoo adeegsanaya nidaam isku-xidhka asal ah oo laga dhaxlay seedaha jidhka, taasoo abuurta xoog la xakameeyay iyo dhaqdhaqaaq dabacsan. Qayb kastaa waxaa la sameeyay tijaabo hore, waa la isku dhejiyay, dib baana loo shubay iyadoo si sax ah loo hagaajinayo, xubnaha isku-xidhkana waxaa gacanta lagu hagaajiyay si taxaddar leh. Qaabka ka dhashay wuxuu xasuusiyaa dhaqdhaqaaqa hirarka badweynta ee garbaha kor maraya.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- To realize the artistic vision, the neckpiece consists of 79 meticulously modeled units, each cast to fulfill specific functions, resembling the distinctive shapes of human bones. Inspired by body ligaments, these units interconnect through an original linkage mechanism that delivers curated tension and choreographed movement. The combination engineers a textural unity that is simultaneously resilient and agile.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 125mm x 3mm x 195mm
- Tags
- Bespoke jewellery, Necklace, Diamond neckpiece, Exquisite craftsmanship, Serenity, Artistic expression
- Production Technology
- Diamond inlaid 18ct White Gold, individually modelled and cast with 3D printing techniques that interconnect through an original linkage mechanism. Relentless trial and error and countless prototyping culminated in the final engineering of the structure.
- Design Challenge
- In order to achieve visual harmony and convey the intended artistic vision, the neckpiece required specific qualities in terms of texture, color, and reflection. The desired movement is achieved by meticulously crafting each individual unit with subtle variations. This involved a precise and laborious process of manipulating the hardened 18ct Gold wires in order to control the angle, direction, and extent of joint movements, similar to the way ligaments function in the human body. The goal was to attain a universal balance across all units and joints, which required significant effort and attention to detail.
- Research
- Visual qualities: Inspired by oceanic movements and tidal imageries, artist made pencil studies and observations that progressed seamlessly from figurative sketching to the finalized abstract form.
Engineering: The adult human body comprises 206 individual bones, each with a unique shape and function in facilitating movement. The engineering of this neckpiece is influenced by the anatomical structure of body joints. - Inspiration
- The neckpiece crystallizes the inner serenity to which the artist is drawn. The piece is reminiscent of the frothy ebbs of midnight tides, draping effortlessly over one's shoulder: mimicking the fluidity of a wave caressing down the coastline, imbuing the pulse of the ocean into the wearer's very being.
- Project Duration
- Starting April 2022 during the 2 month city-wide lockdown in Shanghai, and finished in January 2023, Shanghai.
- Operation Flow
- The design process originated from the shaping of the piece that was completed within one sitting. The artist then came up with different structures to combine and separate the materials in order to achieve the fluidity and strength of the shaping. Each unit was prototyped, assembled, and recast with precise adjustment. After more than 10 types of structural redesign and finishing, the joint movements were individually fine-tuned by hands to enable desired movements multi-dimensionally.
