Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative interpretation of Rumi's Dance of Atoms poem into tangible jewelry pieces has earned recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award - could you elaborate on how you translated this mystical concept into the flowing, rhythmic forms seen in the Rumi Set of Jewelry?
Rumi's Dance of Atoms inspired me to explore the invisible energy that connects everything around us. Rather than illustrating the poem literally, I translated its spirit into elegant curves and continuous forms that suggest rhythm and transformation. My intention was to create jewelry that allows people to wear not only gold, but also a timeless philosophical idea expressed through contemporary design.
The handcrafted nature of the Rumi Set of Jewelry creates unique variations in each piece - what inspired your decision to maintain this artisanal approach despite the technical challenges of working with 18-carat gold at such precise dimensions?
Handcrafting was an essential part of the concept. The subtle variations created by the human hand give every piece its own character, reflecting the uniqueness found in nature itself. Although working with 18-carat gold at such fine dimensions required great precision, I believed this process was the only way to preserve the warmth, authenticity, and emotion behind the collection.
The cultural bridge between 12th-century Persian poetry and contemporary jewelry design in the Rumi Set of Jewelry is fascinating - how did you ensure this historical inspiration remained relevant and appealing to modern consumers?
I believe great literature speaks beyond its own time. Instead of using historical symbols, I transformed Rumi's ideas into a clean and contemporary visual language. This allows the collection to connect with modern lifestyles while carrying a deeper cultural meaning that anyone can appreciate, regardless of their background.

- Production Technology
- All stages of design and ideation until the production of each piece of the collection are done by hand. Therefore, this
collection can be considered handmade. To make each one, first, the gold is melted, then it is poured into a mold so
that it becomes a long wire and cools. Then this wire is turned into a belt in the rolling machine. The belts produced
are shaped by hand using tools such as narrow tails. The final stage of polishing and tone sanding is performed to
shine and polish. In the case of the ring, before the final finishing, the two sides are welded together. - Design Challenge
- To be handmade, there were some challenging parts of production. The first challenge in manufacturing was finding
the right thickness for the belt. Considering that they were made by hand and tools were used to create the overall
form, the sleight had to be adjusted in such a way that the form and shape of the frequency were created smoothly and
correctly. The final result about the thickness was 0.37mm. The second challenge was in the polishing stage. Polishing
the curves and frequent twists of the parts requires more accuracy than flat surfaces. - Research
- Rumi is a poet and gnostic of the 12th century AD. He is known for his love for Shams Tabrizi which connected him to an ocean of truth. His Knowledge is famous among Iranians. Although he is acknowledged well as a poet, he can be considered among philosophers. One of his poems is named The Dance of Atoms. His poems affect all his readers and the designer was no exception. His interest in this piece by Rumi has forced him to create an artwork. This Collection is inspired by The Dance of Atoms.
- Inspiration
- A poem by Mohammad Jalaluddin Rumi inspires the Rumi collection. This gnostic was always acknowledged for his poems worldwide. The inspiring poem of this collection is named Dance of Atoms. Before introducing quantum physics, Rumi spoke of the frequent vibration of particles. In this poem, he talks about the vibration of particles in a mystical and literary way. He compares these particles and their frequent vibrations to the dance of the particles that make up the universe.

started. The manufacturing process started in March 2022 with the making of the ring and finished in September 2022. - Operation Flow
