Twenty Emirati female designers have drawn significant attention at the 55th Watch and Jewellery Middle East Show, which concludes today at Expo Centre Sharjah. These exquisite pieces were displayed under the “Emirati Goldsmiths” platform, an initiative by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) aimed at empowering local designers and connecting them with over 500 regional and international exhibitors.
This year’s platform welcomed new designers from across the UAE, each presenting collections inspired by the country’s rich cultural heritage and natural environment. Crafted from gold and gemstones, many designs incorporated traditional “Talli” handicrafts in innovative, modern forms, blending heritage with contemporary artistry.
Among the most talked-about creations were the “Zayed Lantern”, the “Palm Necklace”, the “Well” design, and the ” Emirati Dama’a”, … all recognised for their originality and exceptional craftsmanship.
