Noor Fares has unveiled INAYAT, a new fine jewellery collection presented at Sotheby's Salon during Paris Couture Week. The 30-piece collection draws inspiration from Arabic calligraphy, sacred geometry and architectural forms, reflecting the designer's exploration of spirituality, craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
The collection combines traditional jewellery-making techniques with contemporary design, incorporating motifs influenced by Islamic architecture, geometric patterns and symbolic forms. According to the designer, INAYAT explores the relationship between jewellery, language and personal meaning through pieces that integrate calligraphic elements into their structure.
A key aspect of the collection is Noor Fares' collaboration with calligrapher Farah Behbehani. Arabic words including Baraka (blessing) and Hob (love) have been incorporated into the jewellery through engraved calligraphy, forming part of the overall design rather than serving as decorative details.
The collection features hand-engraved gold and hand-painted mother-of-pearl alongside a selection of gemstones, including Polki diamonds, rose-cut diamonds, spinels, tourmalines, moonstones, pearls, labradorite and amethyst. The materials and techniques reflect a combination of artisanal craftsmanship and contemporary jewellery design.
Presented during Paris Couture Week, the collection highlights the growing interest in jewellery that combines cultural narratives with fine craftsmanship. By integrating Arabic calligraphy, sacred geometry and architectural references into contemporary jewellery, INAYAT offers a design-led approach that places symbolism alongside material and technical expertise.
The unveiling also reflects the continued prominence of narrative-driven collections within the international fine jewellery sector, where designers increasingly draw on cultural heritage, traditional craftsmanship and artistic collaborations to create distinctive high jewellery offerings.
