The name Mihrimah comes from the Persian "Mihr ü Mah," meaning "Sun and Moon." Before Sinan’s love and genius, she became a muse. Inspired by his love for Mihrimah, Sinan built two mosques on opposite sides of Istanbul: Mihrimah Sultan Mosque and Edirnekapı Mosque. He positioned them so that on March 21st—believed to be Mihrimah’s birthday—as the sun sets behind Edirnekapı Mosque’s single minaret, the moon rises between the minarets of Mihrimah Sultan Mosque in Üsküdar. Just like her name, the sun and moon appear together in the sky. Every March 21st, when night and day are equal, Sinan’s love for Mihrimah is reflected once more in Istanbul’s skies. This elegant, stone-detailed collection can accompany you in daily life, at gatherings, or on special occasions. You may also gift it to loved ones, keeping the essence of immortal love close through the years. Crafted from 925 sterling silver with rhodium plating, this necklace maintains its shine longer and resists tarnishing. The stones are zirconia. Like all silver women’s jewelry, this Mihrimah Sultan necklace is handcrafted. Due to silver and precious stones, the stated average weight may vary by ±10%.
