Welcome to the cultural jewellery revolution. Empowering Islamic heritage through jewellery design.
“My core mission is to uplift women, both Muslim and non-Muslim through Islamic-inspired jewellery, art, design and education”.
We are connected by the Star of Islam to our Past, Present, And Future.
Islamic art encompasses a wide range of forms, including architecture, ceramics, textiles, and manuscripts and often reflects the interconnectedness of diverse cultures within the Islamic world. The art is known for its emphasis on abstraction and decoration, often intertwining spiritual and artistic expression in a way that is both beautiful and meaningful.
Welcome to my design process, which begins with a deep dive into Islamic Art. I am particularly drawn to the captivating beauty of Islamic geometric patterns and the remarkable craftsmanship behind it. The intricate patterns and artistic details often appear to transcend human ingenuity. Moreover, the vibrant colours evoke strong emotions within me and establish a profound connection to the era in which the art originated.
Surrounded by my books, which have been discovered over the years on Islamic Art and gemstones, I immerse myself in the stories of their rediscovery. Delving into the past through meditation and reflection, I let my emotions shape the present. Whether during moments of meditation or quiet periods throughout the day, designs come to me, inspired with in depth beauty and love. Allowing myself the space to process historical discoveries and the newfound emotions, I aim to use these connections to empower women through jewellery design. I find comfort in long walks and moments of introspection, quieting my mind to allow the designs to flow to me and create something more than jewellery.
I dedicate hours in my hand-drawn sketches, turning simple initial drawings into intricate, vibrant works of art. I strive to establish a deep emotional connection with each drawing, and only once I feel that connection am I able to approve the artwork. This is where the captivating art takes shape, as the sketches are brought to life through 3-D printing to produce the initial samples. These samples undergo meticulous inspection before being sent for handcrafting in the selected materials.
