Humanitarian and entrepreneur Jessica Kahawaty has just launched Kahawaty Jewels alongside her father, master jeweller Ghassan Kahawaty.

Together, they have created a collection that blends three decades of craftsmanship with a feminine approach to design.

The brand’s debut collection, Octagon, takes inspiration from the year 1988 — the moment Jessica was born and Ghassan assumed leadership of the family business. The eight-sided motif, symbolic of infinity and resilience. Every design is carefully sculpted to reflect both structure and softness, made for women who value meaningful elegance.

Located in Jumeirah 1, the boutique offers an intimate and tailored experience, inviting clients to explore not only the signature collection but also a curated selection of timeless classics — from delicate tennis bracelets to custom engagement rings. Personalisation is key: clients can handpick loose stones, co-create bespoke designs, and engage with the Kahawatys’ hands-on expertise every step of the way.

Each piece is crafted using GIA-certified natural diamonds, sourced globally and brought to life in master ateliers across Dubai, Sydney, and Hong Kong.

For Jessica, the brand represents more than a professional milestone. “Building this with my father has been a dream,” she shares. “Jewellery should go beyond aesthetics — it should carry emotion, purpose, and meaning.”

Adding, “I’ve watched my father create dream pieces for women for as long as I can remember,” Jessica reflects. “Now, I want every piece we create to be more than decoration. I want it to mean something. To become something.”
