The Jewels of the World exhibition has officially opened at the Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah in Riyadh, bringing a broad selection of international and regional jewellery and timepiece brands to the Saudi capital.

The event, which runs until the 19th of May, offers nearly twice the floor space of the Al Khobar edition held earlier this month.

The exhibition is positioned as a key destination for discerning collectors and jewellery enthusiasts, offering pieces not typically available in the Kingdom. On display are a range of creations from daily wear to high jewellery and bridal sets, highlighting both contemporary and traditional craftsmanship.

More than 60 brands are exhibiting, including Al Baqshi Jewelry, Charles Oudin, Diva Jewels, and Yoko London. Saudi Arabian designer Renad Alamoudi is showcasing her Marque Legacy collection, inspired by a custom piece made for Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman. The collection is crafted in Switzerland and features rare gemstones and handcrafted watch mechanisms.

British jeweller Yoko London is debuting its signature O by Yoko and Zyyp collections in Saudi Arabia. The Zyyp line includes a statement necklace with a zipper mechanism that allows for adjustable styling, while O by Yoko features sculptural designs in chokers and earrings.

Bil Arabi, founded by Nadine Kanso, is presenting its first high jewellery Hobb set. The line incorporates Arabic calligraphy with diamond settings, maintaining the brand’s focus on modern Arab identity.

Italian house Scavia is showcasing pieces such as the Ethnico necklace and bracelet, adorned with yellow diamonds and coloured sapphires, as well as the Rinascimento necklace, combining white gold with rubies, emeralds, sapphires and a pink pearl.

Finally, FerriFirenze is also displaying designs from its Vito collection. These handcrafted pieces, including necklaces and bracelets, are characterised by fluid, sculptural forms and are embellished with diamonds.
