Hamdam Hodhod Pendant
From £1,550
Final price confirmed at commission.
We shaped the Hodhod Pendant around Kherad, wisdom: the hoopoe's fan-crest raised as one unbroken volume of 18ct yellow gold, no engraved feather, just the silhouette that tells you exactly which bird this is. A single cabochon eye catches the light where the crest meets the head.

The Story
We shaped the Hodhod Pendant around Kherad, wisdom: the hoopoe's fan-crest raised as one unbroken volume of 18ct yellow gold, no engraved feather, just the silhouette that tells you exactly which bird this is. A single cabochon eye catches the light where the crest meets the head. Turn the pendant over and a pierced girih-star lattice waits on the reverse, a private geometry only the wearer knows, hidden against the skin rather than shown to the room. A quiet companion for the reader, the noticer, the one who watches before they speak.
