You can't miss the platform because it's right in the heart of the display. It shows you a fascinating creative journey that reveals how the UAE's jewellery industry has moved from traditional goldsmithing to bold, modern design. Each object seems to speak for itself, inviting people to engage with the culture and workmanship that crafted it.
A new group of skilled Emiratis
The platform is working because designers are in charge of their own work. Many people have bought private pavilions and grown their enterprises, showing that they are ready to enter the market on their own. It's clear that they are moving from a stage of support to one of independence. The platform serves as a national umbrella that brings together creative women from all seven emirates. This approach finds Emirati talent no matter where it is and helps it get known around the world.
Designers have also gained ideas from Sharjah's museums, where they have looked at old, rare documents like The Secret of the Universe. People have made jewellery out of these materials that honours historical styles while being new. After a recent trip to Japan, designers transformed their aesthetic influences into unique items. Visitors can witness goods manufactured in the UAE that skilfully blend pearls and gemstones. These pieces integrate traditional craftsmanship with a new vision.
A partnership that honours the past
This year's involvement has been wonderful, especially working on the Sharjah Pearls event. Based on the quality and history of Sharjah pearls, one designer came up with a lot of great ones. The piece portrays a partnership that brings back the traditional custom of pearl diving in a new way, proving that old things may still be popular today.
Doreia: a fresh perspective on heritage
The work of Emirati designer Shaima Al Tuneiji and her brand Doreia is one of the most captivating things on the web. Doreia is becoming more and more popular among collectors and people. She likes producing things by hand, and her designs demonstrate that. They know a lot about Emirati jewels and have a modern view on them.
Al Tuneiji says that each Doreia piece conveys its story. Most of them are based on the UAE's history and culture, but they have been updated for today. She tells people to visit the Jewels of Emirates to view this mix of old and new designs that celebrate beauty, personality, and tradition all at the same time.
A whole experience
As the event comes to an end, Jewels of Emirates continues to offer a whole experience that extends beyond purchasing. This place to study and discover lets people learn about the art's stories, engage with it, and admire the skill that went into making it. A lot of people came, which shows that Sharjah is becoming a bigger and bigger global hub for creating jewellery and gemstones.
