“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.
