Alia bin Omair’s eponymous fine jewellery label fuses the rich and storied culture of the United Arab Emirates with a contemporary, sculptural ethos. A Dubai native with a background in graphic design and illustration, her journey to winning the prestigious 2021 Fashion Trust Arabia Prize began with ‘Tears’ – a collection inspired by the frankincense burned as incense in her childhood home – and ‘Satami’, which draws from traditional jewellery worn by Emirati elders. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in the UAE, expect a selection of tactile rings, necklaces and earrings in gleaming 18kt gold studded with precious stones.
