Ring in The New Year With These Local Jewellery Brands

These local labels are helping you stack ‘em up one ring at a time.

Farida El Shafie


“It's cuffing season and all the girls be needing…” a new stack of rings to keep their fingers warm? Whilst SZA clearly clarified her intentions - and perhaps does endorse mediocre wordplay - the suggested sentiment still stands. As we settle into 2023, an unyielding desire to reinvent personal style looms over shopping endeavours and outings alike. Since you’ve probably already covered the winter attire aspect of your newly-forged identity, all that remains is a new handful (pun intended) of rings to solidify the movement. 


HRH

If your closet is akin to that of a corporate lawyer’s (yes, tweed blazers and pinstriped trousers included) then you are one with Her Royal Highness. Offering a monarchical twist on traditional jewellery, HRH serves to encompass the ‘clean girl aesthetic’ we refuse to part ways with and are as tethered to as a mum is to their newborn’s umbilical cord. 


NOHA ABASSI JEWELLERY

If your winter armour consists of leather jackets, nude trench coats and embroidered cowboy boots then perhaps a star-shaped accessory from Noha Abassi Jewellery is what you need to cement your Milanese girl escapades.  


F FOR FARAH 

Whilst Boho-chic is slowly morphing into a Facebook aunty aesthetic (morning ‘Sabah El Kheir’ posts factored in), local brand F for Farah somehow still manages to cut through the obsolete haze and birth earthy designs that make for edgy editions to our jewellery collections. 


JUDE BENHALIM 

If you’re still knees deep into your vegan island babe era (who can blame you? The easy breezy linen pants are a chafer’s best friend) then a deep dive into Jude Benhalim’s nature-inspired collections might just be what you need to morph the temporary lapse in judgement into a long-term lifestyle commitment. 


LAILA WAHBA JEWELRY 

Ethereal beings and fairy-core lovers, this one's for you. Laila Wahba serves to actualise the regular star-induced fever dreams of the astrology-obsessed girlies amongst us with a series of pieces adorned in crescents and dipped in gold.


KUN 

Since your anthropology degree is probably inflicting even more shame onto your existing cultural and religious guilt, KUN’s ode to Egypt’s rich heritage acts as a gateway outside of commercial consumption into meaningful spending habits catered towards absolving you of all your guilt. 


CLUB BY FYR 

Since it’s cuffing season, added wardrobe spice is a necessary survival mechanism. In waltzes CLUB BY FYR. With a staple collection of sensual rings - ones designed to perfectly hug your fingers - this Egyptian/ Parisian brand is the Weeknd's ‘Stargirl’ personified. 


TAQAT 

Much like the name suggests, there’s something transcendental about the way TAQAT weaves esoteric concepts into its designs. Curated as a vehicle by which its wearers can channel metaphysical energies, TAQAT’s rings are perfect for those looking to imbue more than just a funky stack of silver into their lives.
