Syrian jewelry, from gold filigree to glass beads, tells a story of resilience in the face of conflict. Artisans in Syria have long created jewelry that reflects both the beauty and endurance of their culture. During years of upheaval, Syrian jewelers adapted to new materials, integrating non-traditional elements while preserving the intricate craftsmanship that defines their heritage.
This shift not only symbolizes adaptation but serves as a reminder of cultural survival. Syrian jewelry thus becomes a testament to a people’s capacity to endure and adapt, reflecting stories of war and peace.
Majal Design School aims to preserve this legacy through classes that focus on jewelry-making techniques. These courses offer a chance to learn the history and skill behind each piece, celebrating Syrian jewelry as a form of cultural resilience.
