Granada, From The City Of The World Jewellery Set
Granada, from The City of the World Jewellery set is an innovative fine jewelry collection that masterfully captures the cultural essence and architectural heritage of Granada, Spain, through contemporary design. Created by architects-turned-jewelry designers Ali Mohammad Heidari and Zahra Khaniki, this sophisticated ensemble consists of an 18k gold necklace and matching earrings that draw inspiration from the city's rich multicultural history, flamenco traditions, and distinctive architectural elements. The necklace, measuring 35mm in width and 70mm in height, features intricate laser-cut patterns weighing 8.20 grams, while the complementary earrings extend 60mm in height and weigh 6.10 grams. Both pieces incorporate deformed agate stones, symbolically representing Granada's namesake pomegranates, with the necklace containing 0.40 grams and the earrings 0.80 grams of the semi-precious stone. The collection exemplifies a innovative fusion of two-dimensional and three-dimensional design elements, achieved through a sophisticated manufacturing process that combines laser cutting of 0.6mm gold plates with meticulous hand-folding techniques and precise laser welding. This Bronze A' Design Award-winning creation, recognized in the Jewelry Design category, stands out for its ability to transform architectural concepts into wearable art while maintaining a delicate balance between minimalist aesthetics and cultural storytelling. The design successfully addresses contemporary market demands for lightweight, sophisticated jewelry pieces that serve as personal accents for special occasions, while embodying the mystique and cultural diversity of Granada through its unconventional yet elegant form.
