\"Kamushki<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes to building a brand, “go big or go home” is often what first comes to mind. Of course, it’s always a positive to think big for any business you’re running, but for this UAE-based fine jewellery brand, at the forefront has always been building a story and community and slow and steady growth.<\/p>\n

The idea for Kamushki Studio was born in the UAE over a decade ago by sisters Dania and Mariam Sawedeg. With a love for jewellery passed down from their mother, Kamushki was built on the idea to tell “a compelling narrative, offering wearers something to hold onto and cherish”. Having grown-up across many different cities, including Zurich, Dubai and Tripoli, the Libyan sisters were inspired to create a brand that transcends cultures and merges different stories from all corners of the globe.<\/p>\n

But, 10 years since the start of the brand’s journey in 2014, it’s always remained a purpose-built jewellery house.\u00a0“We prefer to work at a slower pace, as we believe that rapid growth may not be beneficial for a brand like ours; we believe that everything comes to us with time,” Dania explains.<\/p>\n

Mariam, who trained in jewellery design, and Dania, who trained in communications, both handle different aspects of the label, but are nonetheless a power duo working together. Now available on major luxury e-commerce sites including Browns Fashion, Farfetch, Ounass and more, Kamushki is a brand that continues to create pieces that are an “emblem of love, protection, and good fortune”, as Dania describes.<\/p>\n

Below, as part of GRAZIA’s career edit, the Sawedeg sisters share their career journeys so far, how they balance their dual-roles and what’s coming up for Kamushki.<\/p>\n
