The jewellery, designed with a purpose, are on sale at the ongoing Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE 2023) with the proceeds being donated to the EAA’s “Educate a Child (EAC)” initiative that looks to support children’s education worldwide.
The exclusive collection from Valentino includes three exquisite Classic Valentino pieces, each embellished with the EAC logo (shaped like a child’s silhouette) in crystal, metal or pearl.
The collection includes:

Al Ghala Jewellery is presenting two custom pieces designed with the EAA logo – a 18K gold brooch and 18K gold ring – both embedded with emeralds and diamonds.
Ghand Jewellery is also showcasing two custom pieces at this year’s DJWE – an 18K gold unisex bracelet with semi-precious stones that represent the EAA’s brand colours and logo, as well as cuff-links with 14g of 925 Sterling Silver.
