DOHA: The Young Qatari Designers (YQDs) at the 15th Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE 2018) have witnessed a large number of visitors, flocking to view their exclusive collections exhibited alongside prestigious international brands at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC).
Held under the Patronage of the Prime Minister and Interior Minister, H E Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani, the YQDs initiative is a key pillar of the exhibition to support and develop young creative talent by providing a global platform to present their jewellery.
The Young Qatari Designers initiative shines a spotlight on three new and three returning talented designers, including Nada Al Sulaiti (Hairaat); Nouf Al Meer (Nouf Jewellery); Ghada Al Buainain; Leila Abu Issa (Leila Issam Fine Jewellery); Shikha Mohamed- Al Ghla Jewellery; and Jawaher & Hissa Mohammed Al Mannai (Ghand Jewellery).
The Young Qatari Designers pavilion was honoured with the visit of Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani who was presented unique collections of jewellery and gems. Over the initial days of the exhibition, a large number of visitors and VIPs visiting the pavilion praised the details of the designs, the way they were displayed and the refinement of these luxurious pieces which represent Qatar in this exhibition. The Young Qatari Designers' selection of fine jewellery attracted a large number visitors and some of the unique pieces were sold immediately.
A fresh addition to the 15th edition of DJWE is the ‘Milestones' charity auction whose proceeds will be given to Education Above All (EAA), a global movement that contributes to human, social and economic development through the provision of quality education. The new partnership between DJWE and AlBahie Auction House will promote the Young Qatari Designers by hosting an auction today where buyers can bid on a signature piece designed by this year's six local designers.
The Young Qatari Designers are presented alongside more than 490 acclaimed brands from 10 countries. This year's edition of DJWE has already witnessed a flurry of luxury reveals including Adler which showcased its newest creations, Tag Heuer which presented the connected modular 41, and Louis Moinet which unveiled a new Qatar Tourbillon, as well as IWC Schaffhausen exclusively targeting females with the new Da Vinci Automatic 36.
Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition 2018 is presented by Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) and delivered by Auditoire.
