Ruwaya
Based in Abu Dhabi and founded in 2015, Ruwaya Jewellery takes the natural beauty of precious stones and transforms them into glittering pieces that capture the imagination - and the eye. The brand tells the story of Emirati heritage through contemporary design in its unique creations where no two pieces look alike. Named after Fatima's great grandmother, a strong and smart woman, Ruwaya is an old Arabic name with two beautiful meanings. the first "to quench a thirst", alludes to the feeling of finding something truly beautiful encapsulated into a piece of fine jewellery, while the second "storytelling", speaks to the rich heritage of Arabic lore that Fatima distils into her breathtaking, wearable works of art. The exotic sights, sounds, smells, flora, culture, and traditions of Arabia provide a constant source of inspiration for Fatima Al Dhaheri, founder of Ruwaya. Fatima's path to becoming a jewellery designer was almost preordained. Her career as a jewellery began while working for her father at his renowned fine jewellery brand Amwaj, where she bagan creating one-off pieces for her friends and family. Using only the finest stone from Kashmir, Ceylon and Burma, Fatima treats the sapphires and diamonds with a light hand, choosing them according to their energy and allowing their raw, natural organic beauty to determine the look of final pieces. The craftsmanship behind the brand is driven by the raw beauty of the stones celebrating the beauty of the organic, working around them rather than manipulating them into new shapes and sizes. Set in the finest 18k gold Ruwaya's ready-to-wear collections bewitch with their dramatic and organic lines, and offer a sparkling selection of covetable pieces that stretch from dazzling show pieces to more understated pieces designed to be worn everyday.
