FUSING EASTERN
WITH EMIRATI
Diamond design studio 55FIFTY7 and Emirati
fashion label Bin Thani have joined forces this
Ramadan to form a collection inspired by Eastern
culture. The Starry Nights Edit merges Japanese
influences with a contemporary touch, offering
traditional wear that’s apt for Iftar and Suhoor
gatherings. The modest designs feature eight
jewellery pieces designed with 18-karat gold,
pink sapphire, diamonds, topaz and pearls.
Eastern elements are showcased in earrings
shaped like the cherry blossom flower, the
hand fan, and a necklace with bamboo tree
pendant. The apparel line, on the other hand,
features kimonos and pieces inspired by the
Nineties – think shades of vintage maroon,
soft lavender, light blue, army olive green and
off white. The jewellery collection will be
retailed exclusively at 55FIFTY7 studios in d3,
and the apparel line through BINT THANI.
