We all know that the Arab world is a rich cultural hub, but did you know that its language and calligraphy are an artistic inspiration for jewelry making? Jewelry pieces inspired by Arabic calligraphy are continuously making their way to the jewelry world and becoming coveted items that reflect one’s distinguished and stylish taste.

Arabic Calligraphy is an art, as it reflects a certain kind of poetry, elegance and romanticism through every written or engraved word. With poetry lying at the heart of our culture, the beauty and power of Arabic words are definitely something to be acknowledged. With this in mind, we would like to highlight a few jewelry designers that draw inspiration from this art.
