Fusion of Cultures & Generations in Jewelry

Fusion of Cultures & Generations in Jewelry is a project by Alyssa Wakim that explores identity, heritage, and the connection between generations. Inspired by her own family history and the jewellery that has been passed down through generations on both the Belgian and Lebanese sides of her family, the project brings together personal stories and cultural traditions. For each generation, two pieces of jewellery were selected: one Belgian and one Lebanese. Rather than creating direct copies of the original pieces, AI-generated forms served as the starting point for the development of new contemporary designs. The final collection consists of cuff bracelets. While each bracelet functions as an individual piece, together they form a larger narrative about family, memory, and belonging.
