Egyptian jewelry by Azza Fahmy

I just love the jewelry universe. It has so much to offer, from the craftsmanship of talented designers to extraordinary creations, delightful stories and amazing juxtapositions of materials, gems and colors.

For example, I've recently discovered Azza Fahmy jewelry. Her collections are so fine crafted and they reflect so beautifully a civilization that is thousands of years old – the Egyptian one.

As Amina Ghali, daughter, designer and business partner of Azza Fahmy has previously declared in an interview, you can find both authenticity and modernity in their jewelry.

These creations are gorgeous indeed!

The jewels you'll find below came as a response to a design brief set by Adorn Insight for the Lonmin Design Innovation Award 2013. Few key-words led to these wonderful creations: new frontiers, movement, wearable, platinum.
