International Award-Winner Nada G (now Nada Ghazal Fine Jewelry) to take part in ‘Beirut Design Week 2019: Design & Nostalgia’ with limited edition 18k gold fine-jewelry pieces, nostalgic at heart, for future generations to come.

The collection called ‘HERITAGE & HEIRLOOMS’ is inspired by the heirlooms Nada Ghazal, Founder & Creative Director of Nada G, saw being passed on from the women in her life to their daughters.

Beirut, July 2nd 2019: for the 3rd year, Nada G takes part in the 8th edition of Beirut Design Week dedicated to “Design & Nostalgia” taking place from July 1 – 7, 2019. Nada G’s participation will include a bespoke installation at Starco, Downtown Beirut, which will showcase their limited edition 18k gold fine-jewelry pieces dedicated to this event. Nada G will also have a nostalgic themed cocktail on the 3rd of July at their headquarters in D-Beirut.

The ‘Heritage & Heirlooms’ limited-edition collection comprises of four unique designs with only 10 pieces of each design being produced for this occasion.

The items are designed by Nada Ghazal, Founder and Creative Director of Nada G, based on this year’s theme, ‘Design & Nostalgia’ and inspired by memories of witnessing heirlooms being passed on from one generation to the next.

“I grew up in a very close-knit traditional Lebanese family who like most Lebanese families are connected to their heritage and proud of their history” Said Nada. “A tradition, I have witnessed so many times is mothers gifting their daughters heirlooms they’ve been given by their mothers before as if to pass the torch forward and continue this tradition.” She continued.

It is quite common for mothers in the Arab world who don’t have a source of revenue to gift their daughters jewelry which they wore, as well as heirlooms they were given by their mother before them. This tradition, that has continued through time via the matriarchal bloodline for generations, seems to be disappearing for various reasons.

“My inspiration for this limited collection is drawn from the pieces I saw being passed on from my mother to my sister and from mothers of my close family members to their daughters. I think it’s a beautiful tradition and the pieces spread happiness and joy, strengthen social ties and preserve this beautiful heritage of ours with a genuine unique gift that has both financial and sentimental values.” Nada says

“For those women who were lucky to receive heirlooms from their mothers, the tradition can continue by passing these to their daughters. For others who were less fortunate, I invite you to start your own with one of these beautifully designed limited pieces.” she continues.

The limited-edition collection includes 18k gold bracelets, set with diamonds and precious stones, that combine the old and the new through an amalgamation of vintage gold jewelry designs that Nada’s ancestors wore and Nada G’s distinct designs. They will be on display at Starco, Downtown Beirut, from July 2 – 7, 2019 as well as all Nada G points of sale and sold at D-Beirut
