Gazakh

For centuries, Gazakh and its neighboring villages have been renowned as carpet-weaving centers in Azerbaijan. The Gazakh school carpets have captivated international buyers with their unique ornaments and have earned prestigious spots in museums around the world, including the Berlin Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Hermitage, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Budapest Art Museum. This jewelry model draws inspiration from the ‘Aghajly’ carpet of Shikhly, a renowned part of the Gazakh carpet-weaving tradition. Shikhly carpets epitomize Azerbaijani folk art, featuring a prominent central element reminiscent of a cypress tree, considered sacred in both the Middle East and Azerbaijan.
