The first ever collaboration between the Italian jeweller and a member of the UAE royal family, the Jannah Collection is the story of two powerful families coming together in a celebration of shared values and reverence for heritage. Over two years in the making, this high jewellery assemblage forms a touching tribute from HH Sheikha Fatima bint Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan to her grandparents, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Al Ketbi, known as the father and mother of the UAE. The Collection revolves around a five-petal flower, a motif found in the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and which serves as a bond between Abu Dhabi and Rome. Unveiled in the UAE capital in February 2020, the Collection is set to tour various cities and a commemorative publication scheduled for release in 2022.

In this bilingual (Arabic and English) publication, I create an editorial and design outline, conduct interviews and author all texts, and manage the overall design and production schedule, all the while working in close liaison with Bulgari. In addition to identifying and working very closely with the art director and graphic designer(s), I also manage translators, proof-readers and the press process.
