About Orosi Jewelry
Orosi is a ring inspired by the Orosi windows of traditional Iranian architecture. Orosi windows are tall casements that reach from the ceiling to the floor and hold tinted glass in geometric patterns. The ring recalls the windows of Golestan Palace in a small form worn on the hand. The ring is made of pure silver and is shaped by hand with traditional Iranian methods, including cutting, shaping and silver fusing. A simple visual form was chosen for ease of use. The intent is to present the culture and the art of Iran.
