Alluring jewellery inspired by the architecture of Msheireb Downtown Doha by a young Qatari designer are on display at the Young Qatar Designer (YQD) pavilion at the 16th edition of Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE) at the Doha Exhibition Center.
The Msheireb collection by Fajr al Attiya of Trifoglio features bracelets, chokers, earrings, rings, necklaces of 18-carat gold with diamonds and precious stones.
“This is our latest collection called the Msheireb collection. The designs are inspired by the architecture at Msheireb Downtown. We are displaying this collection for the first time,” Fajr told Qatar Tribune.
The young designer said she was happy about the way Qatar has been supporting and giving them opportunities to pursue their dreams.
“We are entrepreneurs and we are young, therefore we really need this support. I would like to thank the government of Qatar for supporting us.”
Fajr said, “We have a pavilion, just next to the entrance where everyone coming to the exhibition hall can see our work. We know that people paid money to get a stand here but we got it for free.”
She said, “I am a fan of fashion on Instagram and my friends encouraged me to venture into jewellery design because I have this sense for art. I decided that I will start my own brand. I started with handbags and after that we launched our first jewellery collection and it was a hit.”
Fajr said she wants to reach the international market as well. “I want my brand to be an international one.” She displayed her works in Moscow in December last year to celebrate the Qatari culture.
Fajr is among the 12 local designers who are part of the Young Qatari Designers (YQD) initiative taking place for the third time at DJWE aimed at supporting Qatari talent and highlighting their creations and designs.
Other local designers under YQD initiative are Ghada Albuainain of GhadaAlbuainain Jewellery; Hissa and Jawaher al Mannai of Ghand Jewellery; Leila Abu Issa of Leila Issam Fine Jewellery; Nada al Sulaiti of Hairaat Fine Jewellery; Nouf al Meer of Nouf Jewellery; Sarah al Hammadi of Sarah’s & Co; Noor al Fardan of Noudar; and Shaikha al Ghanim of AlGhla Jewellery.
Designers taking part for the first time include Abdulla Yussif Fakhroo of Midad Jewellery; Noora and Mariam al Meadadi of Thameen Jewellery; and Sameera al Mulla of Hessa Jewels.
