Rumi Choker Necklace

In stock.

By Afghan jewelry brand Sevar.

The Rumi Choker Necklace decorated with lapis lazuli beads in a special organic finish has been used for the choker necklace and the matching bracelet. The jewelry pieces show the deep blue gemstone fully in its naturalness and demonstrate its simple beauty. Please note that the necklace is sold per piece.

Hila and Wana Limar explain the inspiration behind the name: "Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, Rumi for short, lived in the 13th century and was a Balkh-born Sufi mystic, scholar, and one of the most important Farsi-language poets of the Middle Ages. Even today, his poems are still familiar to many in the Farsi-speaking world, i.e. in Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan, and Azerbaijan. In addition, Rumi also receives international recognition: UNESCO proclaimed 2007 as the 'International Rumi Year' on the occasion of his 800th birthday."

The collection’s designs were created by Hila Limar, architect & chairwoman of the board at the non-profit organization Visions for Children e.V., and Wana Limar, creative producer, presenter, Visions for Children e.V. ambassador, and member of their PR team. This choker necklace was handcrafted in the workshop of a goldsmith in Afghanistan's capital Kabul.

With their jewelry label SEVAR Studios, the sisters, Hila and Wana Limar, also combine their shared affinity for artistic design with their educational, sustainable aspirations.  Therefore, they connect their longstanding commitment to the educational sector, especially through the non-profit organization Vision for Children e.V., with their love of art and aesthetics. Profits generated by SEVAR Studios will be invested in a goldsmith training program for girls and young women in Kabul, which Visions for Children e.V. is planning for 2022.
