Beenish Mahmood, a visionary jewelry designer based in Dubai, introduces the signature line-up of her brand —a stunning series of wearable art inspired by deeply personal experiences and narratives. The foundation of her brand is rooted in storytelling, with her first collection drawing inspiration from a poem she wrote for her son, "The Secret Garden." This work serves as a tribute to the cycles of life—creation, farewells, and rebirth—symbolizing her personal Eden and reflecting her inner world as her child grows into a remarkable young man. Through her designs, Mahmood captures the intricate beauty of life’s pure simplicity, evoking magical memories filled with innocence, romance, and whimsy.
Among her latest creations, the Anemone Ring stands out as a breathtaking masterpiece, handcrafted in 18k yellow gold and inspired by the vibrant beauty of a coral bed. Lustrous baroque pearls mimic the graceful arms of the anemone, while black rhodium accents, shimmering diamonds, and aquamarine enhance the ring’s intricate design, embodying the enchanting dance of the ocean. Another significant piece, the Emeraude Sauvage Ring, features a meticulously cut 18.43-carat emerald solitaire set in yellow gold and surrounded by a mosaic of emerald brilliants. This ring pays homage to the untamed splendor of mountainous regions rich in gemstone deposits, capturing the rugged formations of the earth with each stone meticulously set to reflect the natural beauty of emeralds.
Mahmood’s brand is distinguished by her innovative approach to creating wearable sculptures. Utilizing the lost wax technique, each piece is cast in 18k gold and hand-carved with intricate detail. Drawing on her technical expertise as a metalsmith and her rich Eastern heritage, Mahmood blends various forms of enamel work, carved gemstones, and traditional methods like mosaic and pietra dura to create evocative masterpieces. Her jewelry is designed to forge an emotional connection with the wearer, celebrating life’s small moments and the beauty of the world around us. Each piece is a representation of the wearer’s journey, aiming to make them feel empowered, unique, and beautiful.
Mahmood envisions her creations as treasured heirlooms, blending historical significance with contemporary relevance, ensuring they remain meaningful for generations to come. Her work is a universal message of hope, reminding us that the small moments we collect and nurture can form the magnificent treasure that defines who we are.
