Original Derafsh Kaviani Pin
Embrace the legacy of ancient Persia with the Derafsh Kaviani Enamel Pin, the original design from which our Persian Cross pins take their inspiration. This piece is rooted in the legendary royal standard of Iran, a powerful emblem that emerged during the Sasanian eras and came to symbolise kingship, justice, resistance, and national identity.
The Derafsh Kaviani holds a central place in Persian history and folklore, most famously associated with Kaveh the Blacksmith, whose banner became a symbol of defiance against tyranny and the unity of the Iranian people. This pin captures that origin, not as an interpretation, but as the foundational form that inspired subsequent designs in the collection.
The design features the core elements traditionally associated with the Derafsh Kaviani, including the central lotus motif and four balanced sections, representing cosmic order and the classical elements of earth, fire, water, and air. Every detail reflects continuity, resilience, and the enduring strength of Persian culture.
Finished in glossy hard enamel and accented with a central stone, the pin is gold-plated for a durable, high-polish finish. The design is available with two stone colour options, deep green or rich red. Allowing for personal expression while preserving the integrity of the original symbol. Designed to be worn daily or preserved as a collector’s piece, it serves as both a statement of heritage and a timeless emblem of identity.
