This collection embodies the essence of personal expression, transformation, and emotional resonance, inspired by piano keys, this line offers striking adornments designed for contemporary jewelry lovers.
Dana Al Fardan, a trailblazer for a new generation of creatives, brings her artistic vision to life with Mouawad through pieces inspired by the transformative power of music. With a shared dedication to excellence and legacy, this partnership celebrates meaningful connections, profound beauty, and artistic expression.
The layering of jewelry is multifaceted, as-is Danaâs latest exclusive composition âLux Aeternaâ that commemorates this auspicious occasion: âThis collection is meant to bring together all the various components of ourselves, creating a unified whole. Itâs where we can shine in our everlasting fullest light, this is the inner strength and sanctuary that is Lux Aeterna (Eternal Light)â, said Dana Al Fardan.
The design concept of the âSymphony Collectionâ draws inspiration from the iconic elements of music. Pieces incorporate the graphic symbolism of vertical music bars and the timeless black-and-white keys of a piano. Black jade and white diamondsâsignature elements in the collectionâreflect a refined yet luxurious aesthetic. The black jade symbolizes courage and strength, encouraging resilience and confidence when facing lifeâs challenges. In contrast, the brilliance of white diamonds symbolizes clarity of thought and enlightenment, representing the wisdom to see clearly and make insightful decisions.
The collection includes earrings with gems that ripple with movement, mirroring the rhythm of music, and a sliding diamond rail in a bangle that reflects the dynamism inherent in every composition. The âSymphony Collectionâ offers a sophisticated fusion of innovation and timeless artistry, making each piece a celebration of musical and personal expression.
Fred Mouawad, Co-Guardian of Mouawad, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: "Working with Dana Al Fardan on the Symphony Collection has been an inspiring journey. Her creativity and vision align beautifully with Mouawadâs mission of crafting extraordinary pieces. This collection perfectly bridges the worlds of music and jewelry, offering a modern yet timeless celebration of individuality and elegance."
Speaking of her excitement for the partnership, Dana Al Fardan stated: "Collaborating with Mouawad on the Symphony Collection has been a truly rewarding experience. To me, music constitutes the building blocks of everything. In my mind, everything concrete has a corresponding musical expression that gives it a lasting form. And to see its essence, translated into exquisite jewelry is incredibly meaningful. The jewelry design is embedded in the framework of the orchestra and its principal underlying feature that is built upon harmonyâ.
The âSymphony Collectionâ, launched today in Doha, reflects Mouawadâs ongoing commitment to crafting exceptional pieces that resonate with meaning and elegance. This collaboration showcases a harmonious blend of craftsmanship, artistry, and emotional connection, leaving a lasting legacy for those who wear and cherish it.
