The guide to Persian Iran Proud Heritage
Wear and Keep Your Persian Heritage
This heritage collection at Persis Collection gathers the symbols that have carried Persian identity through thousands of years: the Farvahar, the Lion and Sun, the columns of Persepolis and the painted faces of the Qajar era. Each piece is made to be worn, displayed or given, so the story of where we come from stays part of everyday life, whether you live in London, Los Angeles or Toronto. Many pieces are handmade by Persian artisans, and every order is carefully packed and sent worldwide.
Explore the Heritage Collection
From fine gold jewellery to tea sets and wall art, the collection is grouped by symbol and era, so you can find the right piece for yourself or for someone who misses home.
Farvahar Collection
The Farvahar is one of the oldest symbols of Persia. Its three rows of feathers stand for good thoughts, good words and good deeds, the heart of Zoroastrian teaching. Our Farvahar collection brings it to 18k gold pendants, men’s pins and ties, walnut relief wall art and handcrafted backgammon sets.
Persian Heritage Jewellery
Heritage jewellery lets you carry the symbols with you. Choose a Lion and Sun necklace in 18k gold, a ring engraved with the map of Persia in calligraphy, a crown-shaped pendant with 24k gold inlay or earrings inspired by the cypress tree, a Persian emblem of life and freedom. Shop Persian heritage jewellery.
Pahlavi
The Lion and Sun, or Shir o Khorshid, has stood for Persia for centuries and appeared on the national flag until 1979. The Pahlavi collection includes genuine 22k gold half Pahlavi coin necklaces, silver Ghalamzani brooches engraved by hand, brass wall panels and nostalgic decor that recalls the homes of the 1960s and 70s.
Qajar
The Qajar era (1789–1925) gave Persia its most recognisable portrait style: dark-eyed women, gentle colours and rich patterned dress. Our Qajar pieces include hand-painted ceramic wall plates, cushion covers, wallpaper, magnets and Haft Sin sets for Nowruz.
Persian Style
For everyday wear, Persian Style brings heritage into accessories: canvas tote bags printed with Rostam and Sohrab from the Shahnameh, Farvahar gift sets for him in copper and leather, and silver brooches with Persian calligraphy.
Persian Cultural Decor
Bring the collection home with Persian cultural decor: Persepolis Haft Sin tableware, glazed Lion and Sun Nowruz eggs, ceramic tiles, tea gift sets and miniature paintings inspired by Rumi.
How to Choose a Heritage Gift
Think about how the piece will be used. For a gift that is worn every day, a Farvahar or Lion and Sun pendant in gold is personal and lasting. For a family home, a hand-painted Qajar plate, a Minakari tea set or a Khatam backgammon set is used and loved for years. For a football fan, a Team Melli jersey is the easy choice for the 2026 World Cup. And for a gift that keeps its value, a genuine Persian gold coin has been given at weddings, births and Nowruz for generations.
