New Local, Regional and International Talent Participate at DJWE 2026
Emerging Qatari designers, first-time GCC exhibitors and new collections from Italian houses join the 22nd Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition.
The Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition (DJWE) continues to bring together established jewellery and watch houses, emerging designers and collectors from around the world. The 22nd edition features 49 exhibitors representing more than 500 brands from 30 countries, alongside a new group of participants making their debut at the exhibition.
From emerging Qatari designers to first-time exhibitors from across the GCC and the participation of international auction house Christie’s, DJWE 2026 reflects the breadth of the exhibition while providing a platform for established and emerging names to connect with audiences in Qatar.
The Qatari Designers Pavilion
The Qatari Designers Pavilion, sponsored by Scale7, Qatar’s hub for the Creative and Cultural Industries, welcomes two new designers this year, joining a group of established local names.
Midad Jewellery
DJWE debut
Founded by Abdulla Yousuf Al-Fakhroo, a Qatari engineer, artist, calligrapher and jewellery designer, the brand brings together architecture, calligraphy and contemporary design. Drawing on regional artistic traditions and visual culture, Midad creates jewellery that interprets these influences through a contemporary approach.
H Jewelry
Founded 2012
Founded by Hamad Ahmad Al-Mohammed, H Jewelry draws inspiration from fine arts, cultural heritage, historical symbols and human stories. Its designs combine contemporary forms with elements of identity and heritage, and the brand has previously showcased Qatari creativity at exhibitions in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Spain, Germany and the United States.
The initiative also features designers Ghand Jewellery, Kaltham’s Pavilion, M Royal Collection and Alghla Jewellery. Ghand Jewellery is participating in the pavilion for the sixth consecutive year under co-founder Jawaher Mohammed AlMannai, presenting a new collection inspired by modern Arabian elegance.
Beyond the pavilion, Zari Jewellery makes its DJWE debut as an independent Qatari exhibitor, presenting a collection of around 30 pieces in 21-karat and 18-karat gold, including diamond-set designs. Its ZARI Signature rectangular necklace, crafted in 21-karat gold with natural mother-of-pearl, is among the collection’s highlights, while other pieces draw on traditional Qatari elements including the Bisht, Jadla, Sheela and Heela.
First-Time Participation from Across the Gulf
DJWE 2026 also welcomes four GCC-based exhibitors taking part for the first time.
Al Bakshi Gold & Diamond Company becomes the first exhibitor from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to participate in DJWE. Its presentation includes the Nakhalat Al-Baqshi collection, alongside vintage pieces and a design inspired by Qatari heritage. The collection’s most prominent piece is valued at US$30,000.
Ammar Jewellery joins for the first time representing the United Arab Emirates, while Lulu Al Mahmoud marks the first participation from the Kingdom of Bahrain. Together with Al Bakshi and Zari Jewellery, the four exhibitors add new regional perspectives to this year’s edition.
