This pendant illustrates the map of Palestine with two symbolic sides. On the front, the turquoise stone shines with blue-green reflections, evoking purity and flowing water. On the back, the engraving of Al Quds (Jerusalem) highlights the spiritual and cultural heart of Palestine.
For centuries, turquoise has been linked to protection and eternity. In the Palestinian symbolic context, its color recalls the river of Paradise promised to martyrs, a vision of eternal peace and reward. Wearing this pendant means carrying a bright tribute to those who gave their lives for freedom.
Each pendant is handmade by Ala’, a jeweler from Jerusalem’s Old City. Made of 925 hallmarked sterling silver, it ensures authenticity and value. A gold-plated version (+15€) is also available. Every pendant includes a sterling silver chain, in silver or gold-plated finish.
This jewel is more than an accessory. It is a spiritual and cultural statement. By wearing it, you honor Palestinian martyrs and support local artisanship in Jerusalem.

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.
