Ferris wheel - Design Business Directory

Ferris wheel

This necklace is not merely an ornament; it features detachable cabins that can be worn as separate earrings. The design evokes nostalgia, drawing inspiration from childhood memories. The Ferris wheel's movement has therapeutic benefits, helping individuals with focus issues while reducing stress and anxiety. A gentle spin of the piece induces a calming effect. Combining tradition, innovation, and mechanical science, this design transforms jewelry into an interactive and emotionally resonant experience, enhancing well being.

Shakiba Shariyati

I am a jewelry designer and maker, focused on blending art and functionality in my designs. My work is often based on innovative ideas aimed at enhancing both individual and social experiences. I specialize in creating contemporary jewelry with the ability to change form and function, turning my designs into a part of people’s life stories. Some of my achievements include unique designs and recognition through awards in design competitions. I believe that art and design have the power to deeply impact society, enhancing human connections through beauty and functionality. My designs not only beautify the world around us but also help those who wear them feel a deeper connection with themselves and the world they live in. Each piece I create is a part of the identity and story of the person who wears it. I am always looking for new challenges and aim to contribute to a dynamic, creative community through my work.

About DBD

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.

Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.

Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
