Omar, Thikryat, and Mahmoud are three Palestinian artists from Bethlehem who specialize in the intricate art of micro-mosaic jewelry. Each piece is entirely handcrafted using tiny natural stones — mostly sourced locally — set in sterling silver with exceptional care and precision.
Their workshop is one of the very few in the world still practicing this ancient craft. The technique they use dates back over 2,000 years and involves placing each miniature tessera by hand to create incredibly detailed patterns. Their work blends both traditional and modern designs, offering a unique fusion of history and contemporary aesthetics.
Each creation takes approximately one week to complete, from carefully selecting the stones to assembling and setting them in sterling silver. Because every piece is made by hand, they also offer the option for personalized designs.
Wearing one of their creations means carrying a piece of Palestine — rich with heritage, rooted in the land, and made with soul.
