Sama (سماع) is the Sufi ceremony of turning that has carried devotion for eight centuries, traced back to Rumi's own ecstatic movement in the markets of Konya. The dervish turns, the robe opens outward, and the body becomes a gyroscope of devotion. The music holds the turn and the turn holds the music. This collection is built from that single image: the dancer as one continuous ribbon of motion, resolved into solid gold.
The Sama Pendant renders that ribbon in solid 18ct yellow gold: a featureless oval head narrowing into an unbroken sweep of body before flaring into the skirt, a fine row of around twenty-four pave-set diamonds tracing the flare's polished edge. Mirror polish carries the length of the figure; a single raw hand-brushed band interrupts it so the eye reads movement rather than surface. The Sama Drop Earrings repeat the same construction at a smaller scale, the same unbroken sweep into the flaring skirt, set with around twenty diamonds the pair. Both pieces are made to order over four to six weeks, the pendant at £3,200, the earrings at £1,950.
The Sama Whirl Studs close the collection at its most concentrated: at 11mm, the turn is drawn in on itself until head and skirt read as one closed spin in mirror-polished solid gold. No stones, no chain, the ceremony at its smallest. Designed for daily wear, the studs carry the largest idea of the collection in its most wearable form. Sama runs from the whirl studs at £850 to the pendant at £3,200, every piece solid gold, designed in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter and made to order.
