This elegant Rumi Love Pendant is a stunning piece of jewellery handcrafted by talented women artisans in Afghanistan. The pendant is created using high-quality, natural lapis lazuli, a gemstone native to the region and prized for its deep, celestial blue. Each piece is set in sterling silver and brought to life through centuries-old, traditional craftsmanship techniques unique to Afghanistan's nomadic tribes. More than just an accessory, this pendant is an emblem of heritage and empowerment, supporting the economic independence of the women who create it while preserving a beautiful, time-honoured artistic tradition.
The Rumi Love Pendant is a central piece in our Balkh Collection, drawing its inspiration from the illustrious history, culture and vibrant art of Balkh. Known historically as Umm Al-Belaad, or "Mother of All Cities," a rival to ancient Babylon, Balkh is a city synonymous with nobility, greatness and love - as it is the birthplace of the legendary poet Rumi. This pendant encapsulates that legacy, offering more than just an accessory; it is a wearable piece of art that tells a story of ancient history, profound beauty and the enduring spirit of the "City of Love."
