Where Persian heritage meets British craftsmanship

Persian Heritage. British Excellence. One Journey.

I was born into Persian heritage. It shaped how I see beauty, geometry, and colour long before I ever picked up a jeweller's tool. From 5,000 years of turquoise craftsmanship to paradise gardens that taught me mathematical harmony, from miniature paintings that revealed how colour tells stories, this is the lineage I carry. Today, I bring it all to Birmingham's legendary Jewellery Quarter, where East meets West in every piece I create.

Why Silux London?

The culmination of a decade-long journey

After a decade in British luxury jewelry, designing for major brands, winning awards, serving discerning clients, I asked myself:

"What if I could combine British excellence with my Persian heritage at museum quality?"

I spent ten years learning how Britain's finest jewellers operate. I learned what makes clients trust you with £5,000+ purchases, how to source the world's finest materials, how to execute complex designs with precision, and how to build pieces that last generations.

But no luxury house could give me what only I possess: authentic Persian lineage.

I don't borrow from Persian culture, I embody it. This is not inspiration; this is inheritance.

Silux London is my answer: Persian turquoise I personally source from Neyshabur. Designs rooted in 5,000 years of artistic tradition. British craftsmanship at the highest level. And a personal relationship with every client.

This combination is extraordinarily rare.

I spent ten years learning British luxury excellence, designing for the country's biggest brands and serving clients at one of its most prestigious jewellers. Now I am applying every lesson to my own vision: jewellery that honours 5,000 years of Persian heritage with the quality, craftsmanship, and service that British luxury demands.
