Commission a piece made for you alone.
A Silux commission begins before any gold is touched. It begins with a conversation: the occasion, the person who will wear it, the stone that draws you, the feeling you want to carry. Hamed works with a small number of clients at any one time. This is not a production line. It is a collaboration between a designer who has been thinking about this language for years and a client who has been waiting for something specific. The result is a piece that belongs entirely to the person who commissioned it. No edition. No version two.
The process.
We talk
The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. You tell Hamed what you are thinking: the occasion, the person who will wear it, the stone if you have one in mind, the budget. He may ask about what you already wear, what you are drawn to, what you want to feel when you put it on. This conversation shapes everything that follows. Most clients find that what they want becomes clearer in the telling.
We design
Hamed produces pencil drawings first, then a digital model in Rhino 3D where precision is needed. As a Rhino Authorized Trainer, he works at the technical level of the jewellery industry's leading production houses, which means the digital model is not a rough sketch: it is an accurate prediction of the finished piece, with correct stone proportions, prong geometry, and band dimensions. You approve the design before any gold is purchased. Changes at this stage are simple. Changes after casting are not.
We hammer
The band is formed in 18ct yellow gold and worked by hand. Hammering is not a finishing step applied at the end. It is the shaping process itself: the band is formed against a mandrel, the surface is worked with a range of tools, and the character of the piece emerges in the doing. The stone is set only when the band is exactly right. Silux does not rush the band to get to the stone.
You wear
The finished piece is hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office, confirming the gold content to the UK legal standard. Hamed photographs it before it leaves the studio, both for the record and because a piece like this deserves to be documented properly. Delivery is in person where possible, by secure courier where necessary. We do not use generic packaging. The piece arrives ready to wear, or to give.
