Unique Properties: The Lotus collection is rare since it records special dates. All the collection's necklaces are similar in their basic form, but they are unique, as they each show a specific date. There are 31 small petals as the days, and 12 marquises to indicate the months. You will be gifted by your own date keeper. A gold marking on the picked petal and marquise corresponds to show the desired date. The date is read clockwise. The recorded date on the pendant shown as the main image is Oct 7th (My Birthday).
Dimensions & Packaging: This gold pendant is rose gold plated in dimension of : length 50 mm x Width 50 mm x Height 2.5mm. The gold piece of jewelry weighs 20 grams, including 30 petal-shaped gems and 11 emerald marquise gems in the size of 8 mm.

Design Challenge: Rearranging the petals in a way to correspond to the number of days and months while keeping the original form of the Achaemenid lotus earrings was challenging , deciding on what colors could be felt more as real lotus flower while representing the Iranian nobility was another challenge.
Research: Spending a long time to find the conceptual aspect and symbolic meaning of the twelve-petaled rosette, it was decided to rearrange the petals in Achaemenid earrings the way that represent the 31 days of a month, and the 12 months of a year in order to be able to record the date of a special event.
Inspiration: The matchless pendant is inspired by the set of earrings from the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire, that is now being exhibited in the Louver museum. The shape of these earrings is taken from the twelve-petaled rosette, based on the lotus flower that is engraved on almost all walls in Persepolis. This flower was the symbol of immortality and perpetual beneficence, and also embodies the sun and the twelve months of the year. That had been held by an emperor, as a sign of peace and union and a symbol of Anahita, the goddess of water and wisdom in the ancient Persian empire.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2019 in Shiraz/Iran. The first production of the collection in silver was exhibited in Mehregan Exhibition, Tehran/Iran in Oct 2019.
Operation Flow: I personally believe an intelligent design is about creating an art that stays in mind. Having a magnificent symbolic background, the lotus pendant tells a meaningful story of time.
