At Asherah Jewellery, I often draw inspiration from the quiet strength and enduring beauty of Palestinian jewellery. These pieces carry far more than aesthetic value—they hold centuries of stories, resistance, and cultural pride, woven into silver, beads, and handcrafted details.
Palestinian jewellery tells a story even before you hear the words. Historically worn by women across Palestine’s many regions, it acted as a visual language—speaking of origin, marital status, and tribal belonging. The materials used—whether coral, silver, coins, or colored glass—were more than decoration. They were layered with symbolism: fertility, protection, continuity, and abundance.
What I find most powerful about Palestinian jewellery is how personal it is. Each piece reflects the hands that made it and the lives that wore it. You’ll often find handcrafted elements that link directly to Tatreez embroidery patterns or motifs found in ancient Palestinian amulets. Whether it’s the outline of a cypress tree, a protective hand, or the soft jingle of antique coins, every detail evokes memory and meaning.
Today, there’s a quiet movement to bring Palestinian jewellery back into everyday life—not just as a tribute to the past, but as an expression of identity and belonging in the present. In a world that often pushes people to assimilate or forget, wearing culturally meaningful jewellery becomes an act of remembrance. It says: I know who I am. I know where I come from.
With Asherah Jewellery, I try to honor that. I create pieces that are grounded in Palestinian heritage, often incorporating traditional symbols and Tatreez-inspired motifs, while making them wearable and elegant for today’s world. I want people to feel like they’re wearing a part of their story—something that connects them to generations before them and perhaps even speaks to those yet to come.
I’ve noticed that Palestinian jewellery resonates with people across many backgrounds. For some, it’s a way to reclaim history. For others, it’s a way to show solidarity or to hold space for beauty that emerges from resilience. No matter the reason, it invites deeper connection.
In a time when fast fashion and trend-based jewellery dominate the market, Palestinian jewellery offers something different: depth, craftsmanship, and authenticity. It slows you down, encourages reflection, and lets you carry your culture, or your values, close to your heart—literally.
