Chapter III

Twenty-one days in silver

Process description pending verification.

  1. Day 01

    Saffron enters the silver

    Kashmiri saffron threads are laid into a silver vessel with cold-pressed sweet almond oil. Silver keeps the oil cool and stable while it works.

  2. Day 06

    Manjistha joins

    Ground manjistha root goes in. The oil begins to take on colour, shifting from pale gold to amber.

  3. Day 13

    The colour deepens

    Halfway. Nothing is heated, nothing is hurried. Time is doing what heat would otherwise force.

  4. Day 18

    Gold is folded in

    24K gold flakes are added by hand and suspended through the oil.

  5. Day 21

    Ready to bottle

    Strained, settled and filled into amber glass. Twenty-one days for fifteen millilitres.

Chapter III

Why we made it ourselves

We looked for someone to make it the slow way. When no one would, we made it ourselves.
