Naqsh-e-Nakh Pendant by Roch: A Fusion of Balochi Embroidery and Modern Design

In today’s fast-paced world of fashion, the return to cultural roots and traditional craftsmanship is more than a trend—it’s a statement of identity, heritage, and timeless beauty. The Roch brand proudly presents the Naqsh-e-Nakh Pendant, a unique piece that blends the intricate art of Balochi embroidery with contemporary metalwork. This pendant is not just an accessory; it’s a wearable story woven with threads of history and design.

Balochi Embroidery: A Legacy of Color, Geometry, and Meaning

Balochi embroidery is one of Iran’s most distinguished forms of needlework, originating from the southeastern region of Sistan and Baluchestan. Known for its geometric precision, vibrant colors, and symbolic motifs, this art form reflects the beliefs, environment, and daily life of the Baloch people. The dominant colors—red, white, yellow, and black—are not chosen randomly; each carries cultural significance and emotional resonance.

In the Naqsh-e-Nakh Pendant, a square of authentic Balochi embroidery is carefully framed in metal, showcasing a symmetrical pattern that speaks to the harmony and rhythm of traditional design. Every stitch is handmade by local artisans, preserving the authenticity and soul of the craft. This embroidered square is the heart of the pendant, radiating warmth, heritage, and individuality.

Dual Design: Tradition Meets Minimalism

The pendant features a dual-square composition: one side is the embroidered textile, and the other is a finely engraved metal plate with botanical motifs. This juxtaposition of soft threadwork and hard metal creates a visual and conceptual balance—nature and culture, softness and strength, past and present.

The engraved metal square adds a modern touch to the piece, with its delicate floral patterns etched into a matte surface. It complements the vibrant embroidery without overpowering it, making the pendant suitable for both traditional and contemporary styles. The design is subtle yet striking, ideal for those who appreciate understated elegance with a story behind it.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Quality is at the core of Roch’s philosophy. The embroidery is made using high-grade, colorfast threads that resist fading over time. The metal frame is crafted from a durable, anti-rust alloy with a brushed finish that resists scratches and tarnish. The chain is lightweight yet sturdy, chosen to support the pendant comfortably while adding a refined touch to the overall look.

The pendant’s compact size makes it perfect for layering or wearing solo. Its minimalist dimensions allow it to blend seamlessly with other accessories, while still standing out as a meaningful centerpiece. Whether worn with casual outfits or formal attire, Naqsh-e-Nakh Pendant adds a touch of cultural sophistication.

Who Is It For?

Naqsh-e-Nakh Pendant is designed for individuals who seek more than just decoration—they seek connection. If you’re drawn to cultural heritage, traditional arts, or simply want to wear something that tells a story, this pendant is for you. It’s also a thoughtful gift for loved ones who appreciate handmade crafts, ethnic design, and meaningful jewelry.

This piece resonates with those who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and the preservation of cultural identity. It’s not just a pendant—it’s a tribute to the artisans, the traditions, and the timeless beauty of Iranian heritage.

Styling Versatility

One of the strengths of the Naqsh-e-Nakh Pendant is its versatility. It pairs beautifully with a wide range of outfits—from simple monochrome tops to richly patterned garments. Its warm color palette and symmetrical design make it easy to match with both neutral and vibrant tones.

Wear it with a linen blouse for a boho-chic look, or layer it over a turtleneck for a modern twist. It also complements traditional Iranian clothing, adding a refined accent to mantos, scarves, or even formal dresses. Whether you’re dressing for a casual day out or a cultural event, this pendant adapts effortlessly.
