“It is a vital thing to keep in mind as nowadays everyone has their own budgets but they want the same thing that they have in their minds, and we have to create something accordingly”, he says. Meticulously working to create the perfect pieces, Hardik Shah explains that for each strand of pearl created, an equal amount is unused as sometimes the pearls break and cannot be reused. The longer pearl strands can easily take up to a year as there are no machines used and the skilled craftsmen sow the pearls in the string by hand and to ensure their original quality remains, there are no alterations made to them. With three stores across Bahrain, Al Hashimi Pearls has created an inbuilt trust not only in Bahrain, but also within the Middle East, the US, and Europe. Mr. Vijay explains, as an establishment their main aim is to transfer pearls – the beautiful wonders of the ocean – into classic pieces of jewellery. Each jewellery item at Al Hashimi Pearls revels within a story of its own and adding that to the wearer. Signifying a rich amalgam of passion and creativity, the jewellery house constantly strives to push beyond the limits of design and production. Each piece created retells the story of a journey through different cultures and multi-ethnic influences, carefully crafted by skilled artisans. Much like how the pearl is embedded within gold to complete a piece of jewellery, the art of pearling is also deeply embedded within the history of Bahrain, and the passion flows the same through each member of the trade and at Al Hashimi Pearls, whether it is for the dainty hints of pearl within the wearer’s style or the bigger, more ornate statement pieces, they cater to each with just as much love and passion, and through this nature has inserted itself as one of the most recognised and sought after pearl jewellers within the Kingdom.
