The ring and badge worn by MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli during the group meeting drew attention. The accessories, featuring the verse "Be steadfast as you are commanded" from Surah Hud, became a topic of discussion due to their symbolic meaning.
MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli came to the agenda with both his statements and the accessories he wore at the group meeting held in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. The ring and badge that Bahçeli preferred while taking the podium attracted attention due to their symbolic meaning.
THE RING CONTAINS A VERSE FROM SURAH HUD
The ring on Bahçeli's finger features a specially cut topaz stone known as "London Blue Topaz." The blue stone, which stands out with its medium and dark tones, has the phrase "Be steadfast as you are commanded" from verse 112 of Surah Hud inscribed in Turkish around it.
In the design of the ring, the verse text was positioned to form a circular shape around the stone. This detail added both aesthetic and spiritual depth to the design. The same verse was also inscribed on the side surfaces of the ring using the relief technique of calligraphy aesthetics. Additionally, the sides were adorned with London Blue Topaz stones set using the inlay technique.
THE SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE BLUE TOPAZ STONE
The London Blue tone of the topaz stone, known as the "gemstone of loyalty" in jewelry, is believed to represent the energy of knowledge and wisdom. This stone preferred by Bahçeli is considered to carry a strong symbolic meaning.
THE SAME VERSE WAS INSCRIBED ON THE BADGE
The badge that Bahçeli wore on his lapel was designed to match the ring. The oval-shaped badge also features verse 112 of Surah Hud inscribed in Turkish and in the style of calligraphy. The writings used on the badge were colored with special enamel craftsmanship. The enamel tone was noted to be compatible with the color of the London Blue Topaz stone in the ring.
