Lebanese jeweller Nada Ghazal releases her new collection, 'Pop of Hope', featuring an innovative blend of pearls, diamonds, and her signature brushed gold and asymmetrical designs. The collection reflects Ghazal's personal journey and her desire to convey a message of hope and resilience.
Based jeweller Nada Ghazal draws on an eclectic array of references for her boldly drawn, appealingly offbeat pieces. Oversized rings, bracelets and earrings, peppered with vibrant rainbows of precious stones and asymmetrical silhouettes characterise a style which embraces irregular design codes.It is a distinctive aesthetic underlined in new collection ‘Pop of Hope ’, which sees Ghazal returning to pearls after a long break.

The pearls are paired with diamonds, which I feel, reveal our inner essence of delicate strength, and femininity and create a harmonious blend of timeless elegance, and pure sophistication.’In tribute to her heritage, Ghazal crafts her pieces in her Beirut atelier, weaving this storytelling throughout the jewellery. ‘I wanted to create pieces that would serve as personal tokens of hope, reflecting not only my desire but also the desires and aspirations of anyone seeking the feeling of hope—whether that’s hope for love, success, happiness, or something else,’ she adds. ‘When I started designing, I associated hope with pearls, a gem I haven’t used for a long time and incorporated both large and small seed pearls. Pearls are formed over time through the stress and irritation endured by resilient oysters, resulting in something beautiful and symbolic which exactly reflected how I felt.’ The size and delicacy of seed pearls required an adjustment to her usual technique. ‘One of the main hurdles I faced was working with the seed pearls, sourcing them in such small sizes was in itself difficult, and adapting my gem-setting technique to fit these tiny pearls was also challengin
