01:47هنا ينحن بإمكانهم المدازل ومشاركنا

01:49ونصبعهم على يوم في المنظمة

01:51but some of the biggest stands have been reserved for brands that have been around for decades and some even centuries.

01:59One of the exhibition's crown jewels, the Tiffany & Co. Pavilion, an American luxury jewelry house founded in 1837.

02:08Middle East is an incredibly important market because of the passion, the knowledge, the history that really is born from the Middle East.

02:15Luxury is a way of life here. Tiffany & Co. has been a great part of it and it's a very important market to us because of the incredibly important clients that we have here.

02:25So this is really about showcasing the best of what Tiffany & Co. has, which are exceptional diamonds, colored gemstones and of course pearls.

02:33The highlight of the Tiffany & Co. Pavilion is this display, a collection of jewelry that is all about celebrating the natural heritage and pearl diving traditions of the Arabian Peninsula.

02:44We are extraordinarily proud to be featuring some exceptional pearls that are really we're bringing back home.

02:53They're from the Gulf. They're in incredible creations featuring diamonds inspired by the great Jean Schlumberger,

02:58who's one of our iconic designers at Tiffany & Co. and really features incredible silver, near white, large, beautiful pearls

03:08that really highlight the unique nature of these beautiful gemstones.

03:14While many of the exhibition's jewelry pieces are unique and exclusive, the yearly event is accessible for all free of charge.

03:20Meaning that for five days, visitors can come to admire the beauty on display at the Doha National Convention Center,

03:27whether you're here to spend big or just have a little browse like me.

03:31Now from an annual temporary exhibition to a permanent collection, I've come to the Museum of Islamic Art to check out some extraordinary pieces of jewelry.

03:43To help us understand the significance of these precious stones, I sat down with Dr. Munia Shekhab-Abudaya,

03:50Mia's Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs.

03:53Some of those daggers, and that's the finial.

03:57Dr. Munia, the museum hosts an expansive jewelry collection with pieces that come from all over the world.

04:02In terms of numbers, how many pieces do you have here and where do they come from?

04:06So, the Museum of Islamic Art holds a collection of approximately 500 jewelry pieces,

04:12which is actually a fairly small part of the collection if we think of the total number being approximately 12,000 pieces.

04:21On display, there's around 150 pieces of jewelry from Morocco, Spain, all the way to Southeast Asia, Indonesia, the Philippines even.

04:31So, it really shows the diversity of pieces that are being produced in the Islamic world from the 9th century all the way to the 20th century.

04:42So, it's a wide range of the Islamic world. Are there some commonalities or stark differences you see when you kind of compare the pieces?

04:49There's actually a lot of differences because it shows that there's a syncretism between indigenous techniques and any of the jewelry that would have been already produced in specific regions of the Islamic world

05:07and how it's been reused and refined in the Islamic period.

05:13So, for example, if we look at Spanish jewelry from the medieval period, it shows very much an influence of what was produced in Europe.

05:22And same in Indonesia, for example, you have a lot of use of techniques that already belong to Southeast Asia and to Indonesia in particular in previous periods before Islam was introduced in these regions.

05:36So, some of the pieces come from the Islamic world from the 8th to the 13th century.

05:40Around the time when Iran was expanding its political influence and becoming a key player, how did this influence Iranian art?

05:48The 8th to the 13th century was a very pivotal period for not just Iran but also Iran and Central Asia in terms of jewelry making and I would say that it's very close to what has been produced in Egypt and Syria between the 9th and 12th century in terms of techniques at least because they would have been using some of the antique techniques but would have refined them.

06:14So, you find a lot of gold that would have been used at that time with a little bit of enameled metal work as well which would have been combined with precious stones and jewelry making.

06:27So, of course, this is the medieval period for the entire Islamic world is a time when the techniques and the production of jewelry has been very influential I would say for the later centuries.

06:43Now, we're in the South Asian gallery. One of the most famous pieces here is the Varanasi style diamond necklace.

06:49Varanasi necklace has been done in North India. It's really representative of South Asian jewelry during the Mughal period. So, it is set with very precious stones including diamonds and diamonds were really part of the production in India.

07:07In general, South Asia has been very prolific in jewelry making using precious materials such as jade that would have come from China and Eastern Asia.

07:19They would have been using as well emeralds that come from Colombia that were coming from through the Portuguese trade and later on with the British trade.

07:28And then you have the use of spinels. We have a few pieces here in this gallery which people confuse with rubies because they are a bit red but they are actually pinkish red.

07:40They're not exactly as red as rubies and spinels would have come from present-day Bangladesh or present-day Sri Lanka which were also somehow part of South Asian dynasties.

07:51So, this would have been traded into present-day India to make those jewelry pieces.

07:58The hope is by hosting a platform where a diverse range of exhibitors are under one roof, Qatar will continue to establish itself as a leading destination for luxury shopping.

08:11I got a chance to check out some incredible timepieces on display.

08:14For Maha Al Ferdan, the Doha Jewelry and Watches exhibition has a special place in her heart.

08:21She fondly remembers visiting every year as a child.

08:25The exhibition is, quite literally, part of the family business.

08:29And now, so is she.

08:31Since I was a kid, they've been bringing us every year.

08:35I was young and I would come, I would come walk around, see the jewelry since I was younger.

08:42And my cousins, my siblings as well.

08:46So every year we learn more, we know more, we understand it more.

08:50And finally this year I joined the family business.

08:54Along with four of her cousins, Maha is part of the third generation of Al Ferdans bringing an injection of youth to the company.

09:01And what better place to leave their mark on the legacy brand than at an international exhibition.

09:06And it started 20 years ago when my grandfather, Hussein Al Ferdan, decided that he wanted to have a showcase to show the diamonds, the jewelry.

09:15And so every year we're here, we have one of the biggest pavilions actually in the Doha Jewelry Watches exhibition.

09:24And we show all the brands that are under Al Ferdan jewelry.

09:30There are more than 500 brands from 30 countries represented at this exhibition.

09:35This is the 13th straight year Ayd Adwan has been coming to the DJWE on behalf of 140 year old Swiss luxury watch brand, Breitling.

09:45The Middle East region is a very important region for Breitling globally.

09:50And Qatar is one of the most important markets for us here and this is one of the reasons why we are coming here.

09:57Of course to meet with our local retail partner and in the same time to meet all our clients, our friend of the brand, our partners here in the country.

10:09Adwan remembers the exhibition's early days. He's seen significant growth in the size and scope of what he calls a global gathering.

10:17It was a smaller and less brand and as we said before Qatar become more and more destination for luxury brands.

10:24And we see the growth of the exhibition. We see a lot of new brand which myself even I don't know.

10:29So it's good chances for us as I said to show our product but also to learn about the watch and jewelry industry in general.

10:37Another Swiss luxury watch manufacturer on full display here is IWC Schaffhausen.

10:44Originally founded as the International Watch Company, the brand has been around since 1868.

10:50More than 150 years and since then we are very well known for being the engineers of time and also for our craftsmanship and for our innovation.

11:03For many international brands this exhibition not only allows them to showcase their luxury craftsmanship to their Gulf clientele but also to foster growing cultural exchange.

11:13Our presence in the region is extremely important for us and Qatar is one of the most key countries in the region.

11:20And of course we want to spread the world but we want to show also the region how much it is important for us at an international level.

11:30From glitzy jewels to elegant timepieces we hope you enjoyed discovering how the luxury retail sector continues to grow in Qatar from here at the 21st Doha Jewelry and Watches exhibition.

11:46But that's all the time we have for now. For more check out Euronews.com and connect with us through our hashtag.

11:51Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time on Qatar 365.
