Taɣara Tasuft: Aqua Continuum is a jewellery set composed of a pendant, earrings and a ring, developed through fluid, doubly curved and seamlessly folded forms to express continuity and movement. Emerald-cut blue topaz is used to evoke the visual coolness and calm of water. Supporting gemstones vary significantly in size and are organized using circle-packing principles, creating an organic field of density and rhythm.
Tigejdiwin & Akemmus: Jewellery set consisting of a ring od size US 6, the Earrings are 44mm in length and the Pendant is 50mm in length
Tibzimin: Jewellery, Earrings, Pendant, Ring
Tasnakta n Ufares: The designs were developed using advanced surface modelling and parametric workflows to generate continuous doubly curved geometry and controlled folding. Circle-packing algorithms were applied to define gemstone positions and size variation. Final forms were refined for manufacturability with precise stone-setting tolerances and structural thickness control. The pieces are intended for production in precious metal alloys using high-resolution resin 3D printing for master patterns, followed by investment casting, precision pre-polishing and micro-pavé and prong setting for the blue topaz and supporting gemstones.
Asewḥel n Usnulfu: The main challenge was translating the softness and continuity of fluid motion into stable, wearable jewellery without losing structural integrity or comfort. Balancing expressive doubly curved surfaces with real stone-setting constraints, minimum metal thickness and casting limitations required multiple design iterations. Another difficulty was achieving visually natural gemstone clustering while maintaining secure settings and clear assembly logic. Limited references for computational gemstone distribution in contemporary jewellery and the need to align advanced digital modelling with existing manufacturing processes further increased the complexity of development and validation.
Anadi: This project is based on practice-led design research focused on translating the visual and sensory qualities of water into wearable jewellery. The study explored how doubly curved surfaces, seamless folding and controlled variation in gemstone size can communicate fluid movement and visual calm. Iterative digital modelling and parametric distribution tools were used to generate and evaluate multiple ring, pendant and earring prototypes. Circle-packing logic was applied to organise gemstones as a continuous spatial field rather than decorative placement. The results demonstrate improved visual rhythm, surface continuity and perceived lightness of form. The research shows how structured generative methods can support contemporary jewellery design, strengthen brand differentiation and enable more meaningful, experience-driven luxury products.
Aseḥbiber: The project is inspired by the natural behavior of water and by design theories that describe form as a continuous and evolving system rather than a fixed composition. The primary motivation was to translate fluid motion, surface continuity and spatial balance into wearable objects using doubly curved geometry and folding logic. Research into visual perception of color and spatial distribution guided the use of blue topaz for its cooling sensory effect and circle packing principles.
Tanzagt n Usenfar: The work for the project began in October 2025 and was finished in January of 2026 at Gangtok, Sikkim, India.
Tanila n Umahil: The jewellery is worn and experienced through gentle movement and changing viewpoints. The pendant and earrings allow the gemstone to move freely, creating soft motion with the wearer’s natural gestures, while the ring holds the stone within a continuous flowing form. As the pieces move and catch light, the surfaces reveal different curves and reflections, enhancing the feeling of fluidity. The varied gemstone sizes create a natural visual rhythm that feels balanced from every angle. This interaction produces a calmer, more immersive visual experience than static or highly symmetrical jewellery designs.
