Metallic Fabric Morphology for Designing Contemporary Jewelry Inspired by Saudi Sadu Decorations

Abstract

The research aimed to identify the possibilities of metal fabric morphology and benefit from it in designing and crafting contemporary jewelry inspired by Saudi Sadu decorations by applying modern electronic technologies. The research followed the descriptive approach in studying the morphologies of metal fabric, and understanding the possibilities of its formation like fabric; to show the most accurate and deepest details using modern electronic technologies, as well as the accurate and detailed study of the morphologies of Saudi Sadu decorations. The applied experience was also used in designing and crafting contemporary jewelry inspired by Saudi Sadu decorations, and implementing them using modern electronic technologies CAD/CAM. A selected group of them were crafted in 21-karat gold. The results proved that the design of any piece of jewelry is nothing but a complex and harmonious morphological fabric, characterized by its ability to merge, harmonize and match; To create an innovative design structure. The possibilities of metal fabric morphology helped in designing contemporary jewelry inspired by Saudi Sadu decorations using modern electronic technologies in the field of jewelry, which added unique aesthetic and technical values to each piece. The researcher recommended benefiting from Saudi Sadu decorations for their distinctive aesthetic values, and the necessity of supporting the field of jewelry design using modern electronic technologies; to meet the needs of the local market with unique and sustainable designs inspired by the Saudi environment, heritage and national identity; to raise the productivity of the local market, and provide job opportunities for Saudi workers.
