Brides from across the kingdom are being offered the chance to sparkle and shine on their big day with the help of a new collection by a leading Bahrain jeweller.
Al Zain Jewellery launched its latest bridal sets featuring traditional and yellow diamonds as well as rubies and emeralds at its flagship Bahrain store in Seef Mall.
Its chairman Nabeel Al Zain said: “This year we are concentrating on large feature stones surrounded by intricate work, as well as always looking for something new to make each bride unique.
“We wanted to make it more modern as most people in the Gulf like simple yet rich-looking pieces. The majority of our sets are one-off pieces and take six to eight weeks to create. No two brides will be the same and many are also customised to suit the individual taste of the wearer and their budget.”
The 2012 Bridal Collection features simple and elaborate sets incorporating the favoured bridal stones in every imaginable cut, with floral, heart-shaped and tear drop motifs running throughout the range. This year’s collection showcases large centre stones, but also includes an ‘illusion’ diamond range where smaller stones create the illusion of a single gem.
It follows the award-winning success of Al Zain’s recent Arab Deco collection. This reflected a global style change that occurred in the 1920s inspired by the glamour of the Art Deco period fused with the strict rhythmic and linear patterns of the Arabesque motif.
Al Zain’s sets range in price from BD2,000 to BD500,000 and pieces from the new bridal collection will tour the regional stores ahead of wedding season.
Established in 1930 in Bahrain, Al Zain Jewellery is a leading jewellery manufacturer and retailer in the region, with a reputation for innovation, design and quality.
