Ahead of UAE National Day and the Eid Al Etihad long weekend, GRAZIA hosted a celebration of the UAE’s heritage and female empowerment in partnership with Amwaj, the renowned Emirati high-jewellery brand.

The latest edition of the GRAZIA Gathering brought together 22 remarkable women to honour the nation’s legacy and the powerful stories that shape its future whilst also highlighting the incredible craftsmanship of Amwaj, a brand in itself which amplifies the heritage of the UAE on a global scale through its exquisite pieces.

Founded in 1999, Amwaj has carved a niche in the world of bespoke and high jewellery with its visionary approach to design.

Inspired by the fluid dance of light on the ocean’s surface, the brand crafts masterpieces that capture the essence of movement and nature’s beauty. Known for its intricate artistry and commitment to storytelling, Amwaj turns precious stones into wearable art, reflecting the strength and grace of the ocean waves that inspire its name.

The celebration of such an iconic brand called for an equally iconic location for the latest GRAZIA Gathering.

In the company of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, 22 incredible women came to together at Riviera by Jean Imbert, located at The Lana Hotel in Business Bay.

Hosted by GRAZIA’s Olivia Morris and with Amwaj’s creative visionary, Fatima Al Dhaheri, also there to share the precious and rich storytelling behind the beloved jewellery house, it was a night of community and conversation.

This National Day celebration was more than an event – it was a tribute to the shared values of resilience, creativity and unity that define the UAE and the women who continue to shape its narrative.
