Glimpse: A Fusion of Architecture and Fashion

Ancient Persian Architecture Inspires a Unique Necklace Set

Glimpse stands out from other necklace sets with its exquisite silver design, reminiscent of ancient wooden windows. Each piece is carefully handcrafted, with a focal point of a single, architectural-cut Persian Turquoise. This rare and highly sought-after gemstone perfectly captures the essence of the design, adding an air of authenticity and elegance.

Using a combination of silver and handmade Persian Turquoise, each necklace is meticulously crafted. The silver necklace weighs approximately 20-25 grams, while the turquoise stones range from 20-50 carats. The necklace itself measures 4.918 x 5.458 x 0.634 cm, making it a statement piece that is both bold and refined.

Glimpse is not just a piece of jewelry; it is an interactive experience for both men and women. The design team, led by Hootan Hamedani, has created a wearable work of art that transcends traditional boundaries.

The design process for Glimpse took two months, from February to March 2017, and the final product is now available globally. The design team, based in Irvine, California, USA, overcame numerous challenges in bringing this unique concept to life. Creating architectural forms in jewelry proved to be a difficult task, as the nature of precious metals often dictates the design. Additionally, cutting raw turquoise stones in an architectural manner presented its own set of challenges and surprises.

Glimpse has received recognition for its exceptional design, winning the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2017. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate outstanding creativity and resourcefulness, incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology. Glimpse not only showcases the technical and creative skills of the design team but also contributes to the improvement of quality of life, making it a truly remarkable piece.

With Glimpse, Hootan Hamedani has successfully fused the worlds of art, architecture, and history into a single, captivating necklace set. This unique design allows individuals to carry a piece of ancient Persian architecture with them, making a bold fashion statement while honoring the rich cultural heritage of the past.
