THE WILD FLORA OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Alia bin Omair has designed a bespoke jewellery collection for Menasa - Emirati Design Platform at Expo 2020 Dubai, inspired by the wild flora of the United Arab Emirates, flora that burst into bloom following rainy spells.

The collection consists of a necklace, a brooch, a pair of earrings and cuff links.

‘Hinwa’ brooch is made of gold plated silver moulded into the shape of the hinwa plant.

‘Remram’ earrings are cast from gold-plated silver and centred with fuschia zircon.  The shape is inspired by the exquisite blossoms of the remram.

‘Thanoon’ cuff links, handmade from gold-plated silver and shaped to ressembe the intricate thanoon plant.

‘Shaih’ necklace with its oversized flower pendant is handcrafted from gold-plated silver and shaped to resemble the shaih blooms.
