Darya

The Darya-ye Noor, part of the Iranian Crown Jewels, is one of the largest diamonds in the world, and its pale pink color is one of the rarest to be found in diamonds.

The openwork patterns of these socks are diamond shaped, and the large diamond also reminds me of the center motifs of persian carpets, so I found Darya to be a fitting name.
