Tao Jewellery Collection

Tao

Tao is a jewellery collection inspired by the traditional Chinese Taichi pattern. The collection includes bangles, earrings, a necklace and a ring. Through spatial thinking, the Taichi pattern is deconstructed into several structures that can be worn in different ways. An axle allows half of the earring to rotate 180 degrees, so the round form becomes a long earring. Silicone stoppers inside the necklace make the chain adjustable, and a buckle turns the necklace into a short double chain. The pieces are made of brass with silver or 24k gold plating.

Siin Beirut Bracelet

Siin Beirut

Siin Beirut is a gold charm bracelet of 5 letters based on the Kufic Arabic script forming the word "Beirut", with diacritic dots in turquoise stones.

The pointed arches in the script are laser engraved on top to mirror the arches found in Beirut's traditional architecture.
