Colours in Urdu & Their Meaning
At ArtByZakia, we believe that jewellery is more than just an accessory, it’s a reflection of identity, culture, and heritage. Our latest men’s ring collection is inspired by the beauty of Urdu language and Pakistani traditions, where each ring is named after a colour with deep cultural significance.
From Zamrudi green to Siah black, these rings are a tribute to the rich South Asian heritage and are perfect for those who want jewellery that tells a story. Whether you're looking for an aqeeq ring, a gift for men, or a statement piece, these rings for men are designed to honour tradition with modern elegance.
Zamrudi (زمردی) – The Elegance of Emerald Green
The name Zamrudi comes from "زمرد" (Zamurd), meaning emerald. Green holds a special place in Pakistani culture, symbolising wisdom, spirituality, and prosperity. It is also a colour deeply connected to Islamic history, often seen in mosque domes, calligraphy, and religious attire as well as the green in the Pakistan Flag.
A Zamrudi men’s ring is perfect for those who appreciate tradition with a regal touch. It’s also a great alternative to the classic aqeeq ring, offering a distinctive look with South Asian elegance.
Arghwani (ارغوانی) – The Royal Depth of Purple
The name Arghwani is derived from "ارغوان" (Arghwan), a Persian-Urdu word referring to a rich purple shade, often associated with royalty, mystery, and power. In Pakistani and Mughal history, purple was worn by nobility and Sufi mystics, symbolising wisdom and devotion.
A deep Arghwani men’s ring is a bold choice, perfect for those who want a Pakistani-inspired statement ring that exudes confidence and sophistication.
Neelami (نیلمی) – The Strength of Sapphire Blue
Inspired by "نیلم" (Neelam), meaning sapphire, Neelami is a rich royal blue shade that symbolises strength, depth, and loyalty. The Neelum River in Kashmir is named after this mesmerising blue colour, representing nature’s beauty and resilience.
A Neelami men’s ring is for those who want a timeless yet meaningful accessory. This shade is also popular in Pakistani design, from traditional kurtas to gemstones. It’s a great choice for those who want a ring that blends heritage with modern fashion.
Surkh (سرخ) – The Passion of Deep Red
In Urdu, Surkh (سرخ) means deep red, a colour symbolising passion, power, and courage. In Pakistani culture, red is often associated with festivities, weddings, and traditional attire, making it a colour full of energy and significance.
A Surkh men’s ring is perfect for those who want a bold yet classic look. This shade is often seen in Sunnah rings, particularly in aqeeq rings, which are considered to hold spiritual benefits in Islamic tradition.
Siah (سیاہ) – The Timeless Mystery of Black
The name Siah (سیاہ) translates to black, a colour of mystery, power, and sophistication. Black has always been a strong part of South Asian-inspired fashion, from black kohl-lined eyes to elegant black kurtas, sherwanis and turbans.
A Siah men’s ring is a sleek and versatile choice, perfect for those who appreciate minimalist yet bold jewellery. It pairs well with both modern and traditional Pakistani outfits, making it a must-have for any jewellery collection.
Why We Chose Urdu Names for Our Men’s Rings
At ArtByZakia, we specialise in personalised jewellery that celebrates South Asian languages. Urdu is one of the most poetic and expressive languages, and we wanted to honour its beauty by naming our rings after colours that hold deep meaning in Pakistani culture.
Each ring for men in this collection is more than just a piece of jewellery, it’s a symbol of heritage, identity, and tradition. Whether you’re looking for a gift for men, a Sunnah-inspired ring, or a bold statement piece, this collection is designed to connect you to your roots in a classy way.
