Turath, which means heritage in Arabic, is Azza Fahmy Jewellery's modern interpretation of various cultures. The Turath Collection transports you to vibrant realms of heritage, where each piece is meticulously handcrafted to pay homage to the timeless beauty of jewellery. This collection is woven together with intricate heart motifs, delicate florals, and Azza Fahmy's signature calligraphy and chains. Expertly fashioned by Head Designer Amina Ghali, this collection carries profound cultural significance and evokes echoes of ancient histories.
Turath, a 14-piece collection composed of 18kt Gold and Sterling Silver, is a fusion of artistic elements that transcend borders and eras, reinterpreting each piece to create modern wearable art that combines signature Rajasthani Tribal jewellery with detailed Nubian and Fallahy inspirations.
The Roman Chain Ring and Bangle stand out with their three-layered structure, featuring the signature Roman chain cast as an outline. These earrings, inspired by Rajasthani tribal jewellery, include Nubian geometric motifs and dots adorning the edges. The Roman Chain Ring bears the inscription 'رضا - سعادة' - “Happiness - Contentment”, while the Roman Chain Bangle carries the meaningful inscription 'يسر - بركة' (Prosperity, Blessing). The latter uses the same writing as the Floral Tribal Earrings, a set of captivating hoop earrings that seamlessly blend Indian tribal floral motifs, symbolizing abundance and well-being.
The Tribal Stackable Ring offers a dazzling array of stone options with the inscription 'رحمة - مودة' - “Mercy - Endearment”, conveying feelings of compassion and affection. Capturing the essence of poetry and calligraphy, the Tribal Calligraphy Bangle and Collar pay tribute to the famous verse of Egyptian poet Abdul-Rahman El-Abnudi, "من بين ألف ضحكة و ضحكة بعشق ضحكتك - من بين ألف سكة و سكة بختار سكتك" - "Among the laughter of many, it is your laughter that I cherish, and among numerous paths, it's yours I choose" which adds a touch of enchantment and sentimentality to these remarkable pieces.
The Tribal Chain Necklace beautifully showcases the brand's trademark elements. This long chain is adorned with delicate floral motifs, and the word 'بركة' - “Blessings” gracefully engraved with the brand's signature calligraphy. Finally, the enchanting Roman Chain Heart Choker, which radiates grace and sophistication, seamlessly merges tribal influences with contemporary elegance, making for a captivating and intricate statement piece.
The Turath Collection by Azza Fahmy Jewellery is a testament to the brand's commitment to preserving heritage and celebrating cultural diversity. Each piece tells a unique story where craftsmanship, cultural influences, and meaningful inscriptions intertwine to create cherished pieces that resonate with heartfelt sentiments. Embrace the beauty of timeless heritage and embark on a journey through time and cultures with the Turath Collection.
The collection is available now in all Azza Fahmy boutiques or online at www.azzafahmy.com.
Pack nicotine alternatives
Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images ©
