I’m Saeede Nedaei, a jewelry designer and concept developer from Tehran, Iran. My journey started with a bachelor’s degree in Mining and Mineral Engineering, but I followed my passion for gemstones and—since 2018—have focused on creating modern, meaningful everyday pieces under my brand Zarir. I work across the full design-to-production process: developing concepts, sketching, building precise 3D models in Matrix, rendering with KeyShot, and overseeing casting, stone sourcing, setting, finishing, and quality control. I value honesty, reliability, and simplicity, and I enjoy turning each client’s story into wearable craftsmanship—whether I’m freelancing custom orders or supervising design and production teams.
