About Us
Williams Darugar is a research and experimentation project born from the encounter between a Persian artist and an Italian designer. Each jewel in the collection is a micro sculpture made entirely by hand with the lost wax casting method, a sculptural technique introduced in the Bronze Age and developed over the centuries in Persian, Etruscan, Roman, Greek art and in monumental sculpture. Each piece of jewels can be made up to a maximum of five pieces or it is produced as a unique piece, each edition is numbered and signed. It is a deliberate choice, to preserve the artistic identity of these pieces of jewels; as they are a cross between a piece of design and a work of art.
