Jalila Nayil Sarah Abudawood
merger of SHARED VALUES
A sparkling story of two Saudi female entrepreneurs.
Saudi artist Jalila Nayil founded House of Laith in 2018 with a desire to translate her love for minimal designs and simple living into her clothing and accessory lines. As an artist, her creative approach to digital images, canvas paintings and photography, earned her recgnition in the local design circles and at international exhibitions. Sarah Abudawood, Saudi jewelry designer and entrepreneur currently based in Dubai, founded Yataghan Jewellery in 2008. The gemologist (G.G.) with a degree from the International Gemological Institute (IGI) in Antwerp, Belgium and accredited Jewelry Professional (AJP) from GIA London and holder of a master’s degree in business administration takes inspiration from architecture, and strongly gravitates towards bold lines and geometric shapes. When the two designers met, their instant friendship led to the development of a unique piece of jewelry that represents LAITH, meaning lion in Arabic. The jewelry icon was made with closely calculated circular movements to create the face of the white lion, a symbol of continuity, beauty and strengths. The unique gold and diamond necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets are made in Italy and come in two sizes. The collection is available at Yataghan Boutique, Prince Sultan Rd., AR Rawdah, Jeddah, KSA and Yataghan Boutique at Sunset Mall, Dubai, UAE or onlilne at www.laithofficiel.com
