00:26وعن one of Qatar's best known businessmen and jewelers
00:29Pearls are personal
00:31They are part of his family history
00:33And Qatar's
00:34Before oil and gas transformed the gulf
00:37Pearls were a major source of income here
00:39Traded from the region to markets around the world
00:42When I was about
00:43Maybe eight
00:46Or less than that
00:47But I opened my eye
00:48My father working only with the Pearl
00:50Our neighbor with the Pearl
00:52Our relatives with the Pearl
00:53The whole region with the Pearl
00:55أعطيب الخاص بك.

01:22You could wear a plain outfit, but it's the piece of jewelry that actually speaks about the style.
01:29It actually speaks about your taste.
01:31And I think a look for me is incomplete without jewelry.
01:35So it's diamonds, and it's called the hatful.
01:39Hat means hand in Hindi, and full means flower.
01:45Traditionally worn by Indian brides, the piece has been reworked in diamonds and taken into contemporary fashion.
01:51And it's already found some famous fans, including Rihanna.
01:55There's plenty of luxury on display here, but look a little closer,
01:59and some of these pieces tell a much more local story,
02:02drawing on Qatar's past and reimagining it for a new generation.
02:09I use this beautiful pearl to represent our legacy in loving and appreciating the pearls.
02:16Qatari designer Noura Al-Ansari founded Papillon Jewelry 15 years ago,
02:22but her connection to the exhibition goes back even further.
02:25Now, she's exhibiting here herself.
02:28This is our ninth time to be part of the DJWE.
02:33I'm really proud of myself.
02:35This piece takes its shape from the distinctive spiral of the Fanar Mosque.
02:40Part of the proceeds go to Education Above All,
02:43a foundation working to expand access to education.
02:46But beyond design and craftsmanship,
02:49there's also the question of exactly what you're buying.
02:51To the untrained eye, telling diamonds apart isn't always straightforward.
02:56That's where Qatar's Kimberly Laboratory comes in,
02:59using technology to distinguish between natural and synthetic diamonds.
03:03And so how quickly can your guys here find out if it's natural or synthetic?
03:08Two minutes.
03:10Or less than two minutes.
03:12The lab looks at everything from color and clarity to cut and weight.
03:16And for someone spending serious money on a stone,
03:19the reason for doing it is pretty simple.
03:21Knowing what you're buying.
03:25For all the international names here,
03:28there's also a clear effort to give homegrown designers a bigger platform.
03:31Visit Qatar says putting them side by side
03:34gives local talent greater visibility
03:36while keeping Qatar's own jewelry traditions part of the story.
03:40Jewelry is really a family, like, you know, history.
03:44It comes with heritage.
03:45It comes with a story and local narrative as well.
03:47When we are talking DJWE,
03:49we always bring back the history of the pearl,
03:52the history of the essence of our ancestor,
03:55collecting this kind of treasure
03:58and experiencing the story behind it.
04:01And that brings the story back to where it began.
04:04Hussein Al-Faddan grew up surrounded by the pearl trade.
04:07He went on to build an empire that stretches far beyond jewelry.
04:10But his first passion has never really left him.
04:29There's no shortage of expensive jewelry in this room,
04:31but talk to the people behind it,
04:33and the value isn't always measured in diamonds, gold, or pearls.
04:37Sometimes it's a childhood memory,
04:40a family business,
04:41a tradition that has been handed down,
04:43or one that's being reinvented.
04:45And more than a century after pearl divers
04:48went out into the gulf searching for their fortune,
04:50that connection to the sea is still here,
04:53finding its way into what Qatar's jewelers create today.
04:56That's also the coming stuff on the island
04:56for three years from SHli America,
04:56So...
04:59more than a country.
