RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In this project, I made a free research in the field of "Persian Illumination Philosophy" to prepare design specifications. In this respect, the main concept defined by this philosophical school is the factor of "Absolute Order". Absolute Order factor appeared under the geometrical rule which is embedded in Turquoise Stone as a design element.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was to embed the message of Imagination behind the triangular elements of the earring and necklace. The semiotics of this design followed by Illumination school in Persian philosophy. Also the modern look of the design alongside of the traditional conception was an importance in my design process.
