Abbas, a graduate in software engineering, mother of three, and now an entrepreneur pursuing her passion for designing jewellery, credited Persian crown jewels as the inspiration behind her collection: “I was amazed by the craftsmanship and beauty of the crown jewels of Persia, and wanted to infuse that with local designs,” she explained while talking to Youlin.
The highlight of the collection was the intricate stonework in Sapphire, Ruby, Lapis, Jade, Emerald and Kundan, cradled in the sophisticated silver and gold-plated frames. While the collection included all traditional jewellery items, it was the stonework, particularly in the Kundan bridal sets, that made each item stand out. Sukaina’s innovation with stone created a beautiful blend of modern jewellery with a regal undertone. “The Persian Nights collection caters to the contemporary Pakistani woman, who is looking for unique, sophisticated jewellery at affordable prices,” Sukaina added, “I wanted to create something that I would want to buy for myself.”
Also featured in the collection are Enchanté’s limited edition Iranian Turquoise pieces and its luxury line of Persian calligraphy pieces, ranging from rings to cufflinks. These customized pieces are meticulously designed by Persian calligraphers with great skill, and are the most exotic pieces in Enchanté’s collection.
Enchanté, an online retailer of silver jewellery, came into existence three years ago when Sukaina decided to experiment with unique cuts and to use jewellery designing as an expression of her creativity. Gradually the brand gained popularity, and has now become a favorite among women looking for exquisite jewellery within a budget. Persian Nights marks Enchanté’s fifth exhibition in Karachi, and the brand delivers its exquisite pieces in various parts of the world.
