Cultural Design

I grew up with Iranian myths and the stories and patterns carried through Persian culture for centuries.

Every piece here starts as a drawing. I work out who the figure is and what has to be kept, long before I think about the metal. The question I keep asking is whether the story is still there once the piece is small enough to wear.

A piece can carry a myth and still sit quietly on a hand.

Destiny Ring draws from the legend of Arash the Archer. The winged figures carry the hero’s strength and precision around the central cabochon, with both gold and silver variations.

Pourandokht Necklace honours the Sasanian queen. I wanted her crown to feel regal without becoming a costume piece, so the wings fold in close and the stones sit low.

Shamiram Necklace takes its name from the legendary Assyrian queen whose story holds an important place in Armenian tradition. The drawing came first—the headdress, the double chain and the star at the chest—and the finished pendant keeps all three.

Assyrian Flag Soul Bracelet translates the flag’s central star and radiating lines into a sculptural motif, set against a leather band in gold and silver variations.

Ararat is rooted in Armenian culture. Mount Ararat shapes the ring’s profile, the diamond marks its peak, and Armenian patterns travel around the band.

These pieces were designed for Farhadian Gold. I developed each design from initial concept through to hand-off for modeling and production, which were completed in their workshop.
