Symphony of Elegance: Dana Al Fardan and Mouawad Unveil New Jewelry Collection

Dana Al Fardan

Mouawad is proud to unveil the ‘Symphony Collection’, a stunning new jewelry line created in collaboration with Dana Al Fardan, Qatar’s first female composer and singer-songwriter. 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 Dana’s latest exclusive composition ‘Lux Aeterna’ that commemorates this auspicious occasion: “This collection is meant to bring together all the various components of ourselves, creating a unified whole. It’s where we can shine in our everlasting fullest light, this is the inner strength and sanctuary that is Lux Aeterna (Eternal Light)”, said Dana Al Fardan.

The design concept of the ‘Symphony Collection’ 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 diamonds—signature elements in the collection—reflect a refined yet luxurious aesthetic. The black jade symbolizes courage and strength, encouraging resilience and confidence when facing life’s 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 ‘Symphony Collection’ 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 Mouawad’s 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 harmony”.

The ‘Symphony Collection’, launched today in Doha, reflects Mouawad’s 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.
