Parvaneh (پروانه) is the winged lover of the flame. In the old Persian poems, parvaneh o sham', the moth and the candle, is the image the poets reached for when they wanted to describe a love that holds nothing back: Attar told it, Rumi told it, Hafez returned to it again and again. The moth circles the light, closer each turn, until there is no difference left between the lover and the loved. Persian makes no distinction between butterfly and moth: one word carries both the day-flier and the night-flier, and this collection lives in that single word.
Parvaneh is the twin of our Sama family. Sama is the whirling dancer; Parvaneh is the circling moth; both are Persian pictures of losing yourself, gladly, in what you love. Where Sama turns, Parvaneh burns.
Every piece is 18ct yellow gold, the wings mirror-polished and thin at their edges, the small bodies satin-brushed, and at every thorax a richly coloured ruby cabochon sits flush in a smooth bezel: the flame, carried on the body. Diamonds appear the way firelight falls on a wing, as flat ribbons inlaid flush into the gold on the larger pieces, and as a single fine line on the smallest. The hero pendant turns over to reveal a pierced girih lattice, the house signature, kept private against the skin. Four pieces, made to order: pendant, studs, drops, ring.
