This sterling silver 925 bracelet, entirely handcrafted by Ahmad, a Palestinian jeweler from the Old City of Jerusalem (Al Quds), combines fine craftsmanship with profound symbolism. It features the opening words of Mahmoud Darwish’s iconic poem: « على هذه الأرض ما يستحق الحياة » (On this earth, there is what deserves life). These timeless words give the jewel a unique emotional depth.
Each piece is carefully crafted and stamped 925 sterling silver, ensuring authenticity and durability. Ahmad’s meticulous work reflects both Palestinian heritage and contemporary artistry. This bracelet does not simply adorn the wrist—it carries a universal message of life and resilience.
The bracelet can be customized with an engraving on the back or inside, making it even more personal. You may also choose the gold-plated version (+15€) for extra brilliance. Each creation becomes an intimate, meaningful, and one-of-a-kind jewel.
Please specify your wrist measurement 📏 in centimeters for a perfect fit. If it is a gift and you do not know the exact size, simply indicate “standard size.”

Ahmad is a third-generation jeweler, continuing his family's legacy in the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City, where he runs his own workshop. A true artisan and artist, he handcrafts each piece of jewelry from start to finish with exceptional care and precision.
Specializing in gold and silver, Ahmad is particularly passionate about antique Palestinian coins, which he transforms into unique, history-infused jewelry pieces. He also offers customizable designs and a refined collection of Roman glass jewelry, made from nearly 2,000-year-old fragments found in Palestine.
Since October 7, 2023, Ahmad—like many Palestinian artisans in Jerusalem—has faced a devastating situation. With the disappearance of tourism and the closure of most shops in the Old City, he has been unable to sell his work. On top of this, he faces regular harassment from the Israeli police due to his creations rooted in Palestinian heritage.
Now 35 years old and the father of three children, Ahmad continues to create with passion and resilience, driven by his love for his craft, the memory of his land, and the vital support of people like you.
