Bridging European craftsmanship with the aesthetics of the Arab world, HRH Joaillerie presents its delicate Luce collection, brought to life through heritage and inspired by the intricate architecture of Beirut’s Al Ameen Mosque built by Rafik Harriri – and distinguished by warm tones and precious gemstones.
