Apart from renowned international brands, the 18th edition of Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE) presents an array of Qatar-inspired jewellery pieces created by local designers.
The event, which opened Monday and runs until May 14 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre, has dedicated a pavilion for Young Qatari Designers aimed at nurturing local talent and creativity.
Some 10 Qatari designers showcase magnificent collections that reflects the country’s heritage and architecture, ranging from bracelets, necklaces, bangles and pendants to earrings and rings that highlight the colour and design of Qatar’s flag.
Nouf Jewellery as a brand, by Nouf al-Meer – also the owner and CEO, “offers a wide range of a wide range of diverse and unique items made with different materials and precious stones.”
Some pieces, made of yellow and white gold, are known for their intricate details with colourful gems and diamonds of international standards. Jewellery aficionados know Nouf as a brand that is simple yet creative.
Besides nature and the environment, the Qatari designer finds inspiration from highly-celebrated occasions such as the National Day, and creates unique and exclusive pieces such as “bracelets and rings bearing the colours of the Qatari flag.”
Hessa Jewels, owned by Qatari jewellery designer Sameera Hamed al-Mulla, is becoming increasingly popular with its “traditional designs and its ability to combine classic and contemporary with a creative touch.”
Founded in 2017, Hessa (meaning ‘pearl’), the brand joined Qatar Museums in 2019 to showcase some collections, particularly “Al Battola”, “worn by women and all designed with diamonds and gemstones”. Among Hessa’s famous designs include the Kohl, Mashmum, and the Palm.
While al-Mulla holds a Master’s degree from Aberdeen University and works in the banking field, her works mirror the kind of passion she has for jewellery.
