Alaghband proudly presents Alaghband’s artistic collaboration with Homayoun Shajarian and Mohammad Ehsai, a transcendent partnership that bridges the worlds of music, visual art, and fine jewelry craftsmanship. Titled “Who is Love?”, this project is inspired by the emotive song “Az Doost Dashtan”, composed by Vahid Pouyan with lyrics by the revered poet Forough Farrokhzad. Through this collaboration, Alaghband seeks to explore love’s multifaceted nature and its power to transform the human spirit.
Within Alaghband’s artistic collaboration with Homayoun Shajarian and Mohammad Ehsai, Homayoun Shajarian ’s rich, soulful vocals meet Mohammad Ehsai’s fluid, rhythmic calligraphy. This fine jewelry collaboration with Mohammad Ehsai and Homayoun Shajarian creates a dynamic conversation between sound and sight. The harmony of Shajarian’s voice give motion to Ehsai’s strokes, while the lettering’s curves bring a visual melody to the music. This synergy embodies emotional storytelling through fine jewelry and music, inviting the audience to experience an immersive, multisensory journey.
At the heart of this artistic venture lies the Eshgh pendant by Alaghband. Named after the word for love, Eshgh, each pendant is a sculptural interpretation of Farrokhzad’s poetic verses:
“If life were to happen a thousand times over, It would always be you, once again you…”
The lines resonate with longing and devotion, themes that Alaghband’s master artisans translate into limited edition gold pendants inspired by calligraphy. By capturing the flowing elegance of Ehsai’s script in solid gold, the pendants become personal talismans—each one a testament to love’s enduring nature.
The collection also features exclusive calligraphy jewelry in gold, a showcase of Alaghband’s commitment to heritage and innovation. Using 18k gold, the artisans painstakingly reproduce Ehsai’s signature style, honoring the intricate balance of form and space that defines calligraphy. Each piece is more than adornment; it is a living testament to cultural legacy, where calligraphy jewelry handcrafted in gold transforms letters into tactile, wearable art.
This calligraphy-inspired gold pendant collection is a fusion of historical artistry and contemporary design. Silhouettes of letters flow seamlessly into modern, minimalist forms, creating a series of pendants that speak to both tradition and current aesthetics. These designs highlight how calligraphy jewelry handcrafted in gold can serve as both a fashion statement and a profound cultural symbol.
Central to Alaghband’s artistic collaboration with Homayoun Shajarian and Mohammad Ehsai is the brand’s desire to pay homage to love through exquisite craftsmanship. The Eshgh pendant by Alaghband stands as a signature piece, capturing the emotional resonance of Farrokhzad’s poetry. It is Alaghband’s tribute to love through fine jewelry, demonstrating how art and emotion can converge in a single, lasting object.
Every pendant undergoes a meticulous creation process: from initial sketches that trace Ehsai’s brushstrokes, to 3D modeling that refines proportions, and finally to hand-finishing by Alaghband’s artisans. The result is a collection where Alaghband artistic collaborations in jewelry shine through in every detail. Each step ensures the golden letters maintain structural integrity while preserving the grace of the original calligraphy.
In a world craving authentic connection, “Who is Love?” asks us to seek the answer within creativity itself. Inspired by Homayoun Shajarian ’s emotive interpretations, this collaboration serves as a reminder that love transcends language—it can be sung, written, and sculpted. By combining calligraphy jewelry with melody, Alaghband encourages wearers to carry a piece of that question—and its answer—with them always.
