zaha hadid continues her work with wearables through a collaboration with the prestigious middle eastern jewelry brand, house of aziz & walid mouzannar. the ‘silene cuff’ expresses the fluidity and complexity of natural forms by adopting an intricate web onto the pristine white gold piece, resulting in an elegant composition that explores the evolution of organic geometries. inlaid diamonds that hover between the fluid forms accentuate its formation, balancing an ever-changing interplay between refraction and reflection that conveys its formal complexity.

 

hadid’s collaboration with the mouzannar family — who have been creating jewelry since the 18th century — furthers their heritage with a contemporary and expressive piece, grounded with a developed understanding of materiality and craftsmanship.
