The key of happiness necklace

The key of happiness necklace is a very special piece in our unique collection. A 925 sterling silver necklace carrying a very special designed key shaped pendant dangling from the middle combined with 2 charms from the sides written the word ‘happiness’ on them in Arabic calligraphy inlaid with a white and a grey pearl.

Hence Arabic calligraphy is the artistic practice of handwriting and calligraphy. It is therefore based upon the alphabet in the lands sharing either a common Islamic or cultural heritage. Consequently it includes Arabic, Ottoman, and Persian calligraphy. They call the Islamic writing khatt Islami in Arabic, which means either Islamic line, or design, and construction. The development of Islamic calligraphy is also especially relevant to the Quraan.

The Arabic saying, “Purity of writing is purity of the soul” vividly describes the status of the master calligrapher in Islamic society.  Arabs believed that only a person of spiritual devotion and clear thought could achieve the skill for this supreme art. As a result the most talented of calligraphers attained honorable positions as either scribes in the Imperial Palace or as teachers of Imperial rulers. Three great calligraphers from Baghdad founded the Islamic calligraphy; the Vizier Ibn Muqla (886–940) of the Abbasid court, Ibn al-Bawwab, and Yakut al-Musta’simi of Amasya (d. 1298).

Like all our other exquisite jewelry, this necklace is handcrafted, and highly detailed by our talented craftsmen. Furthermore it bears the 925 silver stamp for authenticity purposes.

The length of this lovely piece is around 65 cm.
