This stunning piece, has been created in collaboration with H.E. Sheikha Alyazia bint Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan & Sheikha Hamda bint Khalifa bin Mohamed Al Nahyan
Combining rich Emirati heritage and artistic inspiration, Al Fardan Jewellery has unveiled the highly anticipated inauguration of its flagship boutique. The renowned brand has unveiled the highly anticipated renovation of its flagship boutique, which was later than expected due to covid related restrictions.
Timeless and conceptually strong pieces are reflected throughout Al Fardan Jewellery, suited for the elegant woman with a modern flair. Al Fardan is a brand that draws its inspiration from its extensive and rich Emirati heritage. Whilst Al Fardan Jewellery continues to maintain the highest standard of craftsmanship and its commitment to quality and excellence, the brand is continuously evolving by creating impeccably handcrafted timeless designs for women who seeks to encapsulate the rich Emirati traditions.
With the launch of the Ramadan Capsule that is inspired by H.E. Sheikha Alyazia bint Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan & Sheikha Hamda bint Khalifa bin Mohamed Al Nahyan, Al Fardan aspires to render the embodiment of Islamic motifs and legacy for the contemporary Emirati woman.
The medallion that was chosen as a hero piece of the collection is adorned with H.E. Sheikha Alyazia Bint Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan’s personal handwriting, that encompasses religious prayers to observe The Holy Month of Ramadan. The capsule – aptly named “With Relatives” – is reflective of Ramadan’s spirit of bringing families together, sharing positivity and the art of gifting. Paying tribute to the early Islamic tradition, where it was common to have the “hidden” prayers, the engravings aim to reinforce the message of the prayers acting as protection.
“The theme of light is broad and continuous, especially for the holy month of Ramadan. Traditional mosque lamps in combination with a perplex of tile like aesthetic gives a form to light, materialized by the use of Arabic letters on the double-sided piece of jewellery,” commented H.E. Sheikha Alyazia bint Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan.
Sheikha Alyazia’s artistic vision is well-projected and celebrated through her art works that capture elements of her heritage and modernity.
”Through this art, I wanted to shed the light on the traditional culture and produce an art piece that represents the preservation of Emirati pride, individuality and identity in an ever-changing globalised world”
The entire design has been immaculately executed; coral and malachite both of which will be stocked as unique medallions. The vision behind the colour scheme derives from luminosity and Islamic tradition, from the intricate engraving of the medallion that is inspired from Andalusian tiles and floral motives extending even to the design of the hook, holding the pearl and coral beads.
Playing on the idea of jewellery versatility the pearl tassel can be removed or added so the necklace can be crafted in a contemporary design with a sense of tradition. What better way to celebrate Ramadan than with these personalised gifts that have been customised handcrafted packaging by the well-known Emirati calligrapher and designer Narjes Noureddine.
With time, H.E. Sheikha Alyazia Bint Nahyan Al Nahyan’s collaborative journey will evolve further as there are future plans to extend the collection by adding additional high end and daily wear jewellery items.
