Keffiyeh Jewelry: A Modern Symbol of Palestinian Pride

Keffiyeh Jewelry: A Modern Symbol of Palestinian Pride

At Asherah Jewellery, I believe adornment should carry meaning. That’s why my keffiyeh jewelry collection reimagines the iconic Palestinian scarf into wearable art – pieces that honor tradition while fitting seamlessly into contemporary life.

Why Keffiyeh Jewelry Resonates

The keffiyeh pattern has evolved from practical headwear to global symbol of solidarity. In jewelry form, it offers:

 Subtle symbolism – Less overt than the scarf but equally powerful
 Artisan craftsmanship – Meticulous beadwork replicating the signature fishnet design
 Gender-neutral appeal – Designed for all to wear with pride

I’ve seen my pieces become:

  • Conversation starters in boardrooms

  • Heritage markers for diaspora youth

  • Statements of allyship at rallies

The Asherah Difference

Each keffiyeh jewelry piece is:

1. Thoughtfully Constructed

  • Glass beads selected for colorfast durability

  • Sterling silver or gold-filled findings that withstand daily wear

  • Adjustable lengths (7-8.5") to suit all bodies

2. Rich in Meaning
The patterns aren’t just decorative – they’re visual storytelling:
 Fishnet motif = Connection to the Mediterranean
 Olive leaves = Roots and resilience
 Bold contrast = Unbroken spirit

3. Ethically Crafted
Every purchase:

  • Supports my artisan partners in Bethlehem

  • Helps document traditional designs

  • Includes a heritage card explaining the symbols
