This pendant illustrates the map of Palestine with two complementary faces. On the front, the mother-of-pearl shines with soft light, evoking the innocence of Palestinian children killed in Gaza. On the back, the engraving of Al Quds (Jerusalem) highlights the city’s central role in Palestinian identity.
Valued for its delicate iridescence, mother-of-pearl has long been linked with purity and protection. In this pendant, it takes on a deeply emotional meaning: it stands as a reminder of fragility and a tribute to the Palestinian children lost to war. Wearing it transforms a natural material into a silent call for dignity and justice.
Each pendant is handmade by Ala’, a jeweler from Jerusalem’s Old City. Crafted in 925 hallmarked sterling silver, it ensures authenticity and durability. A gold-plated version (+15€) is also available. Every pendant includes a sterling silver chain, available in silver or gold-plated finish.
This pendant is more than an accessory. It is a cultural and human testimony, a way to honor memory while supporting local Palestinian artisanship.

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.
