This bracelet unites two legacies: contemporary Palestinian craftsmanship and ancient Roman glass, produced in Palestine more than two millennia ago. Once an everyday vessel or jar, the glass was transformed underground by minerals into shimmering shades of blue and green. Wearing it means carrying a piece of timeless history.
Two sterling silver medallions decorate the chain, engraved with Mahmoud Darwish’s iconic verse: “On this land, there is what deserves life.” A symbol of love and resistance, the poem gives this jewel both poetic and militant meaning. The medallions can also be customized with another text of your choice.
Handmade by Ahmad, a Palestinian jeweler from Jerusalem’s Old City, this bracelet embodies a heritage preserved against all odds. Every detail is crafted with care, making replication impossible. Only one bracelet like this exists.
This bracelet is more than jewelry: it is a relic, a tangible testament to Palestinian history and culture. Once sold, it will vanish from our collection and can never be recreated.

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.
