✨ Whispers of Spring, Echoes of Heritage

Introducing Curi Jewellery – A Tale of Enamel, Earth, and Emotion

At Maralkunst, something magical happens every time a new piece enters our gallery.

It’s not just about jewelry.

It’s about what it holds—stories, culture, soul.

We don’t just collect adornments; we collect whispers from around the world, handmade memories, and timeless artistry that dares to feel.

Our mission is simple, yet sacred:

To bring together pieces that aren’t mass-produced—but soul-produced.

Pieces that carry their maker’s essence.

Pieces that speak.

And today, we are honored to introduce one such story:

Behnaz Ranjbar, the heart behind Curi Jewellery—where Persian tradition, enamel work, and storytelling meet.

 

 

🌿 Meet the Artist: Behnaz Ranjbar

Craftswoman. Enameler. Soul-speaker.

Behnaz, now 41, grew up with a quiet love for handmade art. That childhood wonder eventually led her into the world of jewelry-making in 2016. She trained professionally in traditional Iranian jewelry techniques, and just a year later, she discovered her lifelong passion: minakari—the ancient Persian art of enameling on copper.

Over the years, she taught herself even more techniques, often through online resources like YouTube. What began as curiosity turned into devotion. Her hands became the storytellers of her heritage.

Her brand name, Curi, comes from the Khorasani dialect, meaning bangle.

A small name with a deep cultural root—just like her work.

“I want my art to connect people to Iranian identity—

to give them something meaningful, something that can’t be found everywhere.”

– Behnaz

 

 

🌸 Featured Collection at Maralkunst

“Nowbahar – The New Spring”

Each piece in this collection is a celebration of Nowruz—Persian New Year, renewal, and the return of light.

Handcrafted with khane-bandi (cloisonné) minakari on copper, these pieces are framed in silver or brass, blending ancient techniques with modern simplicity. From delicate green motifs symbolizing rebirth to the universal protection of the evil eye, each design carries emotion, symbolism, and story.

Highlights:

🌿 Nowbahar Necklace, Ring & Bracelet

• Enamel work on copper, set in silver/brass

• Green spring motif—symbol of growth and renewal

• Designed as a matching set or standalone soul pieces

 

🧿 The Nazar Pendant

• Traditional “evil eye” in soft enamel blue

• Set in pure silver

• Worn as a quiet protector—elegant and symbolic

 

🧚 “Qasedhaye Bahar” Pins – Messengers of Spring

• Etched brass

• Inspired by Persian angelic figures carrying mirrors, flowers, and music

• Designed as bookmarks or brooches—perfect for gifting

 

💛 Why We Chose Curi for Maralkunst

Because we felt something.

Because her work isn’t just art—it’s a conversation with culture, history, and identity.

Because it aligns with everything we believe in at Maralkunst:

– Slow fashion over fast trends

– Craftsmanship over mass production

– Meaning over perfection

These are not just accessories.

They are messengers—from Behnaz’s hands, from Iranian traditions, from a heart that still believes in the quiet power of beauty.
