Cairo-based jewellery designer, Jude Benhalim founded her own eponymous brand at just 17 years of age. It all started with a design project during high school, where she first-ever took interest in the design industry.

 

 

The young designer was born and raised in Egypt, who later pursed a degree in Film from the American University in Cairo (AUC); Jude was naturally drawn to design due to her culture, family’s roots and her vibrant environment to produce refined handcrafted pieces with a modern-spirited woman in mind; Jude always had a strong goal to empower and embrace women by expressing their own individuality with her bold and eccentric pieces.

 

 

Always seeking new ideas, Jude main inspiration are the women in her life and especially the women who she designs for and wears her intricate designs. Her timeless pieces are a clear understanding and the balance between the traditional world and all things bold and contemporary; all designs are handcrafted by a team of local artisans in her Cairo workshop, using only the top-of-the-line 925 silver and gold plated brass as well as custom-made Resin stones.

 

 

Minimal in design yet powerful with intricate details, the Egyptian jewellery designer continues to break the rules with new techniques with a long kept commitment to traditional craftsmanship and artistic creativity.
