Khalil Al Sayegh Jewellers
The essence of Khalil Al Sayegh Jewellers is the ability to breathe life into stones. For us, jewellery is the product not only of great craftsmanship and creativity, but also of profound emotions. Beautiful and timeless, our jewellery creations combine ancient traditions with natural materials through cutting-edge technology. With nature being the primary influence of the brand, we seek to reflect the beauty of the natural world in each of our fine diamond jewellery creations. From rare fancy-coloured diamonds to fiery Burmese rubies, Khalil Al Sayegh Jewellers seeks the finest natural stones that can be found and incorporates them into stunning works of art.
From the simplest to the most ornate, each Khalil Al Sayegh piece of jewellery reflects a passion for the unusual and a freshness of thought. Like nature, we do not believe in the repetitive or the formulaic. Myriad influences shape our thinking and are reflected in the uniqueness of our creations. The creative energy of Khalil Al Sayegh Jewellery emanates from the gemstone itself. Khalil Al Sayegh creations are simple, elegant and use the naked stone as the focal point. A team of gemologists have been carefully trained to procure such stones from all over the world. The gems are then hand-picked by a group of professionals composed of a senior gemologist as well as a designer. They are then re-cut to perfection before they result in an original Khalil Al Sayegh creation. Whether it be a cloud in the sky, dew on a leaf or the serenity of a sunrise – Khalil Al Sayegh Jewellers seeks to immortalize and perfect, irreplaceable moments of beauty.
In 2008, to help fuel the company’s international expansion Khalil Al Sayegh and Mohammad Ali launched a new brand, Aliel, under the umbrella of Khalil Al Sayegh Jewellers. Sweet sounding and sophisticated, the name “Aliel” resonates the heritage of the brand. “Leila” is the word created when one spells Aliel backwards. It is also the name of Mohammad Ali’s first and late wife. Mysterious, otherworldly and divine, Aliel thus takes after a woman, and women, for Mohammad Ali, play a vital role in the making of jewellery. A woman’s beauty and charm, like that of nature, are the muses for Aliel creations.
History & Heritage
In Arabic, Al-Sayegh means “goldsmith,” a name that was chosen during a period in history when families in the Levant were named after their profession. It was indeed the proper title through which to backdrop what would become Dubai’s premiere fine jewellery stores. The House was founded almost 50 years ago by Ibrahim Al Sayegh, who soon after, passed the business down to his son Khalil Al Sayegh from whom the present store takes its name as Khali Al Sayegh Jewellers and who remains the chairman of the company.
Mohammad Ali was named the Artistic Director of Khalil Al Sayegh Jewellers, and in collaboration with Khalil Al Sayegh, brought the company to the acclaim it receives today. Mohammad Ali considers gemstones to be nature’s most beautiful gifts. Together, they believed, that through sourcing the rarest stones in combination with precious metals, they could create unrivalled jewellery pieces for connoisseurs and lovers of the art. This quest for beauty, to create something through the pure and remarkable form of natural stones, is what has driven the House throughout the years rewarding it with a loyal customer following and progressing it to a universal and avant-garde brand.
