     “Life is too short to wear boring jewellery” – Shaheen Abbas

Shaheen was born into a seasoned family, where jewelry was given the respect it deserves as generations passed on. Like all young girls, her love for jewels began at an early age and never ended. Known for her flawless sense of style and an eye for design, Shaheen has been featured on several spreads in magazines and tabloids. So it came as no surprise when Shaheen, with her flair for fine design grew a penchant for jewelry design.

“An emerald could take you back to the forest of your imagination, a topaz can remind you of the day you dived into the sea near a coral reef and a ruby can take you back to that special day of love you shared…in a diamond lie the memories of time,” she says.

Shaheen is a wife, a mother, and ensures work life balance while maintaining a fast-paced career as a creative entrepreneur. Her most recent collection, TILISMAT (named after the Tilismi Chiragh: a magical lamp when rubbed 7 times to grant your wish), was dedicated to her time in Paris the past summer to live, breathe, explore, and comprehend luxury. All pieces are based on stones and 18K Gold.

We all see jewels as more than mere adornments; we see them as a part of our culture and tradition. Shaheen believes women and jewelry are a love affair that just can’t go wrong.
