This jewel highlights the map of Palestine with two complementary faces. On the front, the Eilat stone displays its distinctive mix of turquoise blue and deep green, echoing the land and sea of Palestine. On the back, the engraving of Al Quds (Jerusalem) pays tribute to its role as the cultural and spiritual heart of Palestine.
The Eilat stone has been mined since Antiquity in the southern part of historic Palestine. It was used for centuries to decorate temples, jewelry, and ceremonial objects. Its unique colors symbolize both fertile soil and the Mediterranean Sea, essential elements of Palestinian identity. Today, it stands as a rare and precious Palestinian gemstone, connecting past and present.
Every pendant is handmade by Ala’, a Palestinian jeweler from Jerusalem’s Old City. He works exclusively with hallmarked sterling silver 925, ensuring authenticity and quality. You may also choose a gold-plated version (+15€). A sterling silver chain is included, available in silver or gold-plated finish.
This pendant is more than a piece of jewelry. It embodies Palestinian heritage through a local stone and traditional craftsmanship. By wearing it, you support Palestinian artisanship and carry a symbol of identity, memory, and resistance.

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.
