Alfardan JewelleryIt all began over one hundred years ago, when the Alfardans set out on the clear warm waters of the Arabian Gulf and established themselves as pearl traders. They soon established themselves as leading experts on the pearl within the Gulf, and today, Alfardan Jewellery’s chairman, Hussein Alfardan is considered a leading expert and authority on the natural pearl, not only in the Gulf – but in the world.With growing prosperity and new opportunities, it was not long before the first Alfardan Jewellery store opened in 1954 and they soon started long standing business partnerships with many of Europe's finest watchmakers and jewellery houses. Today, Alfardan Jewellery is firmly established as a leader in luxury, growing from a local store to become a major retailer operating several luxury showrooms and boutiques across the city – including The Alfardan Centre, Villaggio Mall, Landmark Mall, The Pearl-Qatar, St Regis Doha, Chopard - Qatar Duty Free, Mall of Qatar, and most recently, the official re-opening of its Villagio Mall Tiffany & Co. showroom – where they have redefined the luxury retail experience, establishing the presence of a luxury shopping destination reflecting Tiffany's legendary style, while presenting new jewellery lines that appeal to the Qatar market and their valued customers.True to their innovative outlook, Alfardan Jewellery were the first to introduce the concept of a Jewellery Exhibition in the region – when back in 1977 they hosted the first of its kind private Jewellery & Watch Exhibition which later in 2003, became a hugely successful public event attracting many visitors both locally, regionally and internationally as well as the world's top jewellers and watchmakers.Alfardan Jewellery's success reverberates as strongly today. Guided by the same family values and enriched by the wealth of accumulated experiences, Alfardan Jewellery boldly sets out to uncover new possibilities in the continuous pursuit of providing only the finest.
