Are you a first-gen jeweller or do you belong to a family of jewellers?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I come from a lineage of jewellers, being the proud granddaughter of the visionary Mahdi Ali Almajid. My introduction to the world of jewellery began at a young age, as I spent delightful hours in our family\u2019s jewellery shop, selecting exquisite pieces for special occasions and Eid celebrations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What made you take up jewellery designing? When and where did you hone your skills? And when did you finally establish your brand?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Creativity has always been a foundation of my life; as a child, I was captivated by accessories and had a profound appreciation for art. After completing my higher education, I discovered the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), which opened my eyes to the fascinating world of diamonds and gemstones. This revelation fuelled my desire to learn more, leading me to pursue various courses, including CAD\/CAM design. From that point on, the creative process became second nature, allowing ideas to flow effortlessly.<\/p>\n<p>My goal was to establish a brand that resonates with the modern woman, and in 2018, Kaltham\u2019s Pavilion was born.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30931\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30931\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30931 size-medium lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-750x1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-750x1000.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-900x1201.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-20x27.jpg 20w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon-72x96.jpg 72w, https:\/\/gjepc.org\/solitaire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Moon.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30931\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On model \u2013 The Blue Moon long 18-karat white gold earrings set with turquoise, blue sapphires, and diamonds; The Blue Mini eclipse rings are patterned with pearl, turquoise, blue sapphires, tanzanite and diamonds.
