Amulet in Spirit


contemporary Yemeni jewelry by

Suad Raja

Jewelry designer Suad Raja showcases a collection of Yemeni-inspired silver jewelry. Ms. Raja’s contemporary jewelry creations preserve the mystical, spiritual, and social symbolism inherent in Yemeni and Arab art and culture. She has worked to redefine her designs to give them a more contemporary spirit, thereby capturing a sense of continuity between the past and the present. As owner of Sheba Gallery in Cairo, Suad Raja has also exhibited her Sheba jewelry designs in galleries worldwide.
