Temple of Love is a cuboid-shaped sculptural ring, made mostly of oxidised silver. Apart from silver, parts of this ring are made of ebony, citrine, bronze, while the miniatures are made using oil paints and preserved with a thin layer of enamel.
A designer from Bosnia and Herzegovina and an Iranian painter met in Turkey, became friends, and casually started creating jewellery together. A few years on and Ena Mulavdić and Ebrahim Mohammadian Elird's jewellery pieces are exhibited all over the world, winning awards and appearing in Vogue. Interested in making jewellery, Ena was one of Ebrahim's apprentices, and that is how the artistic duo's journey to a joint business began. Along the way, they learned from each other and found they complement each other’s skills. Their captivating rings, necklaces and earrings are the result of their combined academic training in design, painting and sculpture, and of their coordinated teamwork.
