A Fragment of History, Adorning the Ear of Time”
Sometimes, to witness true, timeless beauty, there is no need to travel through time. You need only choose a piece that has captured the very soul of an era.
These handcrafted earrings are a re-imagining of a Qajar-era dream. Each pair represents months of contemplation and artistic devotion. Created with the intricate, time-honored craft of papier-mâché—meticulously layered and shaped by hand—the result is an astonishing durability matched with a feather-light weight.
This ensures that despite their bold, striking dimensions, they offer unparalleled comfort when worn.

The delicate miniature painting upon them captures the likeness of women from the Qajar school of art; rendered with such poise and intricate detail, it feels as though they might at any moment step out from their golden frames to whisper tales of Persian aesthetics.

Harut and Marut (Arabic: هَارُوْت وَمَارُوْت) romanized: Hārūt wa-Mārūt) are a pair of angels mentioned in the Quran Surah, who teach the arts of sorcery (siḥr) in Babylon.According to Quranic exegesis (tafsīr), when Harut and Marut complained about mankinds’ wickedness, they were sent to earth in order to compete against humankind in regards to obedience. After they committed various crimes, they found themselves unable to return to heaven. God offered them a choice between punishment on earth or in hell. They decided for punishment on earth, leading to their situation mentioned in the Quran.

The Harut & Marut Handmade Paper Mache Earrings are lightweight, eco-friendly accessories inspired by the mystical legends of ancient Persia and Babylon.

The design of this earring is inspired by the goddess statue in India. The statues are broken, the upper torso is destroyed, and only the back and legs are intact. This work is kept in the Indian Museum.

A Persian miniature (Persian: negârgari Irâni) is a small Persian painting on paper, whether a book illustration or a separate work of art intended to be kept in an album of such works called a muraqqa. The techniques are broadly comparable to the Western Medieval and Byzantine traditions of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts. Although there is an equally well-established Persian tradition of wall-painting, the survival rate and state of preservation of miniatures is better, and miniatures are much the best-known form of Persian painting in the West, and many of the most important examples are in Western, or Turkish, museums. Miniature painting became a significant genre in Persian art in the 13th century, receiving Chinese influence after the Mongol conquests, and the highest point in the tradition was reached in the 15th and 16th centuries. The tradition continued, under some Western influence, after this, and has many modern exponents. The Persian miniature was the dominant influence on other Islamic miniature traditions, principally the Ottoman miniature in Turkey, and the Mughal miniature in the Indian sub-continent.
