Throughout Lebanon's history, jewelry has been a silent witness to resilience in the face of adversity. From handcrafted silver necklaces to traditional gold bracelets, Lebanese artisans have used jewelry to symbolize strength and survival during challenging times. This is especially relevant now, as Lebanon navigates current conflicts and struggles, and jewelry continues to reflect a resilient spirit.
Every piece of jewelry crafted during difficult times tells a story of continuity, of artistry not abandoned but adapted. Lebanese jewelry holds deep connections to heritage, with many artisans in Beirut, Bourj Hammoud, and beyond, crafting pieces inspired by historical and cultural narratives.
Majal Design School embraces this spirit by offering jewelry making courses that teach traditional metalwork techniques. Through these courses, students are invited to preserve the stories of Lebanon’s artistry and resilience.
