Afsaneh is the Persian word for legend, and this is Silux's sculptural statement family, pieces built around a story rather than a single motif. The Simurgh Cocktail Ring opens it with Persian mythology's greatest bird: ancient, wise, and possessed of all the world's knowledge. In the Shahnameh she nurses Zal, the white-haired hero, and grants him one of her feathers to call on her in his darkest hour, held here at £2,400 as the most accessible entry into the family. Parvin turns to architecture rather than myth for its legend: each facet of its gold frame is hand-finished to create the stepped, light-catching depth that defines muqarnas vaulting in Persian architecture, with accent diamonds set flush between the geometric tiers so they catch light as the hand moves, at £3,950, geometry worn as its own kind of legend.
Afsaneh runs from the Simurgh Cocktail Ring at £2,400 to Parvin at £3,950, every piece solid gold and made to order in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter: legend and architecture, held in metal that never stops telling its story.
