Gol-e Shab Pendant

From £420

Final price confirmed at commission.

I designed the Gol-e Shab pendant around the moment Saadi describes in the Golestan: the rose at dusk, before it opens fully, when the petals are thickest and the form is most itself. Gol-e Shab means night flower, and this is the version I wanted to make permanent.

The Story

I designed the Gol-e Shab pendant around the moment Saadi describes in the Golestan: the rose at dusk, before it opens fully, when the petals are thickest and the form is most itself. Gol-e Shab means night flower, and this is the version I wanted to make permanent. The pendant is a single rose bud caught mid-opening: three petals emerging from a compact cylindrical base, cast as a single piece of solid 9ct yellow gold. The two outer petals curve back at their tips to give the piece genuine depth; the innermost petal stands proud, pressing forward as though the bloom is still deciding whether to open. There are no stones, no engraving, no filigree. The surface does everything: petal faces are brought to a mirror polish, while the inner recesses between petals are satin-brushed, so the piece catches light differently depending on the angle. The integrated bail loop sits at the base of the bud, hallmarked inside. At 14mm tall by 12mm wide, the bud is compact enough to wear every day and substantial enough to read at arm's length. It hangs on an 18-inch fine trace chain in 9ct yellow gold, removable via a standard spring ring. Persian poetry gave us the nightingale and the rose as the original love story. The nightingale sings only for the rose; the rose opens only because the nightingale calls. Hafez and Rumi and Saadi all return to it. Wearing this piece carries that lineage without announcing it. This is the entry point into the Golestan family for someone who wants a piece of real meaning at a price that feels generous rather than excessive. Materials: 9ct yellow gold (375 hallmark), UK hallmarked (Birmingham Assay Office)
