Vestiges: Redefining Oriental Jewelry with a 3D Twist

A Unique Cuff Inspired by Islamic Architecture

The Vestiges cuff, designed by Fatima Dahmani, is a stunning piece of jewelry that combines the beauty of Islamic geometric patterns with modern technology. Each piece in the Vestiges collection is interpreted as a vestige brought to light by an archaeological dig. The jewelry appears to have suffered the ravages of time, with patterns filled in by sediment or rings deformed by the pressure of sediment.

The basic hexagonal pattern organized in a six-pointed star refers to the stars and the sky, and its infinite repetition evokes the concept of infinite power in Islamic architecture. This unique design sets the Vestiges cuff apart from other jewelry pieces, showcasing its strength and distinctive features.

The Vestiges cuff is made using advanced 3D printing technology. It starts with the design being created using jewelry software, which allows for intricate and captivating patterns. The design is then 3D printed in wax before being cast in 18K yellow gold. It can also be made in 18K white or rose gold, providing customization options for the wearer.

For the small size (S), the Vestiges cuff has a height of 0.6 inches (15 mm), a width of 1.78 inches (45 mm), a diameter of 2.56 inches (65 mm), and a length of 5.91 inches (150 mm). However, the bracelet can be custom-made and personalized upon order, ensuring a perfect fit for each individual.

Redefining Oriental jewelry is not limited to its conventional forms, but also encompasses its aesthetics and inspirational potential. The Vestiges cuff reinterprets traditional Oriental jewelry in a way that is attuned to modern times. It combines the rich cultural history of Islamic architecture with contemporary design, resulting in a piece that is both timeless and captivating.

The Vestiges cuff has been recognized for its outstanding design and creativity, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2023. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
