With a rich culture and deep roots, Palestinian jewellery brands have held their own in the creative space for some time now. Intertwining tradition and resistance into their art, they create pieces in a range of styles and aesthetics.
Infusing their heritage and presence in unique ways, there are Palestinian jewellery brands that create dainty minimalist pieces and striking colourful jewels. From food to brands and now jewellery, GRAZIA has you covered when it comes to all things Palestine-related.

Founded in 2003, Dima creates fine jewellery rooted in her Palestinian heritage. From 18kt hand-hammered gold to rare and precious exotic stones, each piece carries a story of its own. Enveloped in gold and diamonds are tales of immeasurable love and longing for her culture. If you’re on the search for colourful and vibrant gold jewellery, Dima Jewellery is for you.
Peace Pieces Jewelry
Dainty and minimalist, this Palestinian brand creates for those who like their jewellery on the understated side. Each piece is handmade with 14k gold and is filled with jewels. From delicate necklaces with outlines of the Palestinian land to prominent gems hanging on elegant gold links, Peace Pieces Jewelry unleashes their Palestinian passion into each creation.
Holy Land Boutique
“Liberate your heart, liberate your mind” is the sentiment that rings through Holy Land Boutique creations. From prints to jewellery, every piece they produce comes from the heart of Jerusalem. Unapologetic in their approach, each creation is vivid and lively. Fom the colours they use to the traditional embroidered patterns they weave in, they stand strong in their Palestinian DNA.
Hiba Jaber
Based in Dubai but born in Palestine, Hiba Jaber launched her namesake brand in 2017. Through her custom pieces shines her belief that the jewellery you wear tells your story. Through exploring her own identity, culture and heritage, her designs act as an extension of her personal discovery. But she also puts creativity into your own hands, letting you weave your DNA into pieces you design. A mix of minimal attributes with maximalist touches, Hiba intermixes daintiness and powerful shapes in her jewellery collection.
NURNEI
Mixing elements, shapes and colours, NURNEI is a Palestinian jewellery brand that creates beautiful yet nontraditional pieces. Founded by British-Palestinian designer Noor Neiroukh, it’s about chunky and bold yet subdued pieces. Featuring thick coin necklaces, “return keys” and other symbols of her culture, her gold jewellery is infused with symbols and artefacts from her homeland.
The Coral Beach Jewelry
Based in the Old City of Jerusalem, The Coral Beach Jewelry carries accessories of all kinds. From necklaces and bracelets to key chains and stickers, they bring Palestinian traditions and artefacts to all parts of their collection. The Palestinian “right of return key necklace” catches the eye not only for its beauty, but also for its duality. A symbol of the homes lost by generations in the 1948 Nakba, the key represents the Palestinian diaspora’s longing to return to their land. Moving and powerful, The Coral Beach Jewelry creates with depth and substance.
Jihad Sabbah Jewelry
An artist whose talents know no bounds, Jihad Sabbah is both a jeweller and an oud player based in Jerusalem. Known for his mother-of-pearl jewellery, along with gold and silver pieces, his designs are intricate and detailed. Each line and curve speaks to the designer’s artistic exploration and cultural roots, as Jihad creates jewellery with intention.
