Celebrating "KUNOUZ: The Treasures of Jordan" by incorporating beautifully coloured local stones, such as the green malachite, beige alabaster and pink granite which are sourced by the local communities from the desert of Southern Jordan. These pieces are then individually hand shaped by a cooperative of ladies in the village of Qadisiya, just north of Petra, in a workshop that we helped train and set up.
This stone project is supported by the South Company for Construction and Development, a company mandated by HM King Abdullah II to develop long term sustainable socio-economic projects in the south of the Kingdom, and creating job opportunities to the local communities. We are proud of our continued support to this programme and have aims for its further development.
In keeping with her deep attachment to nature and the fact that Nadia draws her inspiration from so many of Jordan’s natural wonders, it is fitting that Nadia’s latest enterprise is working with the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) creating specially designed items reflecting the Jordanian wildlife, countryside and resources. All the work is being done by the RSCN’s workshops employing local people in their Conservation areas all over Jordan, ensuring that, as always, Nadia Dajani jewellery is giving something back to society.The artisans at the workshops at Wadi Mujib and Dana are the main producers of the silver jewellery, which is inspired by the surrounding nature.
Having met with Zainab Salbi, the CEO of Women for Women, and from deeply inspirational conversations that showcased similar interests, such as the belief in the empowerment of women and creating job opportunities, Nadia is currently working with Women for Women International, an international non-profit organization based in the USA in creating specially designed jewellery that will raise money for the Iraqi women in their joint ‘Remember Me’ program.
Our Project is based in Amman, and having started with just one employee and Nadia, has since grown to over 20 ladies, based in the Amman area and who have been trained in jewellery making from first principles.
