Jewelry

Inspired by the abundant natural bounty and rich cultural landscape of Jordan, each of her collections is imbued with the traditions and civilizations of the past, re-casted as stunning amulets for the future – celebrating both our shared heritage and modern diversity.

Lama's collections are also inspired from the old primitive etchings and drawings, adorning walls and caves throughout Jordan’s desert landscape and rich archeological relics, recalling many locations around the world with similar drawings of a similar life and daily practices. Those symbols are familiar, explicable and they become a way of communication-- a universal language that conveys free self-expression, peace and unity without any ethnic, cultural or religious barriers.

An “art to wear”, where each design is either a “master” piece or part of a limited edition—that is the cornerstone of her collectible jewelry, which are handmade and assembled in her Amman workshop. Fusing “hand selected” precious and semi precious stones with gold, silver, brass and copper in an unusual approach to contrast and harmony based on her long-standing experience and background in art.

Lama also gets inspiration from the various places she's visited around the world, where she explores unique gems to use as color on her canvas.

Lamystique

Lama’s famous circles unveil her own interpretation of the primitive cave drawings hand-stenciled on silver, gold or gold plated discs.

This collection includes three categories:

Lamystique Disc comes in three sizes (large, medium and small) and can be placed as pendants, long necklaces and double wrap necklaces.

Lamystique Infinity has the infinity sign as two connected discs. They come in medium and small sizes.

Lamystique Lock incorporates a disc and a stick with hand-stenciled symbols. This design was transformed into a reality when Lama decided to have a jewelry piece that can be identified as her own personal work from the back and front—also known as Lama’s trade mark since the beginning of 2000.
