Sharjah 24: On the third day, the Jewels of Emirates exhibition continues to offer its visitors a brightly shining show of collections of Emirati jewellery and gold artifacts, and exclusive pieces made of natural pearls, diamonds and other gemstones, crafted by male and female Emirati designers with such ingenuity and precision that reflect the highly advanced level of local gold and jewellery industry.
The exhibition is organised by Expo Khorfakkan for the first time with the support of the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) and under the supervision of the Expo Centre Sharjah (ECS).
The Abali Jewelry platform owned by Emirati entrepreneurs and designers, Abeer and Reem Al-Rubaidi, revealed exclusive pieces of natural pearls with unique designs that included 15 kinds of natural pearls. The pieces were distinguished with their high quality, geometric curves, bright colors, the traditional touches and beautiful hand-inscribed Arabic calligraphy with its distinctive oriental form. All that reflected the ingenuity and mastery of its designers and combined the ancient Arab and Emirati heritage with the trends of contemporary designs. The platform also exhibited gold artifacts inlaid with pearls, shells, diamonds and a set of precious and rare gemstones, most notably malachite, quartz and ruby.
The Emirati designer, Zikra Al Kaabi, owner of Zikra Jewelry, is participating in the exhibition with a set of gold handicrafts inspired by Emirati heritage. She highlighted her keenness to launch distinct and exclusive designs for the event, including the Buraq collection inspired by the Draisha Al-Ain Al-Qadima (traditional eye window), and the Al-Sawgh set, which includes Tabla and Shabbassa pieces that are handicrafts designed with perfection in the traditional style of yellow gold decorated with traditional details and creative touches.
