Ala’ is a 37-year-old Palestinian artisan living and working in the Old City of Jerusalem. From a young age, he has been deeply passionate about art in all its forms. He pursued this passion through formal studies in the arts at university, dreaming of one day becoming a full-time artist.
Faced with the economic and political realities of life in Jerusalem, Ala’ chose to combine his creative vision with a sense of duty. To support his father and contribute to the family’s livelihood, he turned his talent, artistic sensibility, and attention to detail toward the world of jewelry making.
Today, Ala’ has inherited his father’s jewelry shop nestled in the historic alleys of the Old City, where he has also set up his own workshop. There, he designs and handcrafts every piece himself, from the initial sketch to the final polish. These are not just accessories — they are wearable works of art.
Specializing in sterling silver, Ala’ often incorporates natural stones, Roman glass, and symbolic motifs drawn from Palestinian heritage, all while developing a signature style that is both rooted and modern. His creations are instantly recognizable: original, elegant, often meaningful, and always refined.
Ala’ is one of our most exceptional artisans — a creator whose work bridges memory and modernity, tradition and innovation. His jewelry pieces are rare, timeless, and infused with the spirit of Jerusalem.
