MARZANOOZ — Mariam Nooruddin
Mariam Nooruddin : A Pioneer in AI Jewelry Design
Mariam Nooruddin made history as the first Bahraini—and globally the first—to publishing a book on AI-driven jewelry design, placing Bahrain on the innovation map.
Starting in interior design in 2010, she later moved into jewelry, using AI to create unique designs that blend heritage with modernity.
Her book “DIAMOLD: Jewellery & Sculpture” presents hundreds of AI-generated designs and highlights the art of prompt writing. She also introduced the “Diamold” technique, inspired by mother-of-pearl with a diamond-like finish.
More than a book, DIAMOLD marks a new era where tradition and technology come together in jewelry design.

NOTTA ARABA Crescent Moon
Notta Araba recently launched a collection named Crescent Moon, a unique design that embodies the spirit of the Arabian desert. Inspired by the beauty of the desert landscape and its rich heritage, we designed a Dha’b head, adorned with sparkling gemstones, and simplified the design by removing the limbs.
We added a long tail and merged it with the design to create a wild lizard, reflecting the strength and spirit of the desert, and characterized by the beauty of a long night, where the moonlight blends with the desert shadows, creating a magical and peaceful atmosphere.
The crescent moon symbol on the Dha’b’s head represents growth and renewal, linking the design to the enchanting Arabian nights. We’ve carefully combined these elements to create a design that reflects the essence of the collection, capturing the beauty of the Arabian desert in a modern and innovative way.
This design also reflects our commitment to Arab heritage and our desire to revive its beauty in a contemporary and creative manner. The colors and materials were carefully chosen to ensure the design is unique and distinctive, reflecting the spirit of the entire collection.
Nour Dilmun: Exquisite Jewelry Bridging Past and Present
In every piece of mother-of-pearl, a tale from the depths of the sea tells a story of time. In every golden line, a story from Dilmun’s civilization stores the secrets of ancestors. In every sparkle, light from Bahrain Fort shines with pride of history. Nour Dilmun – a symbol of luxury and beauty, for you, the woman of Bahrain, who carries the spirit of the Gulf in your heart.
You, who connect the past and present with feminine grace. This exquisite piece embodies a love story between earth and sea, between heritage and modernity, between strength and femininity. It is an embodiment of the Arab Art Deco spirit, where bold geometric lines meet the beauty of Bahraini heritage.
The creamy mother-of-pearl tells the story of pearl diving, the 18K rose gold shines like the setting sun of the Gulf, and diamonds add unparalleled brilliance. The chevron lines remind us of the calm sea waves and the walls of Bahrain Fort.
For you, the woman of Bahrain, this masterpiece carries all the stories of the past and all the hopes of the future. It is an expression of your strength, your beauty, and your Arab spirit. Nour Dilmun brings together Bahrain Fort’s heritage, creamy mother-of-pearl, luxurious 18K rose gold, and exquisite diamonds. The design is handmade with meticulously engraved details, using traditional mother-of-pearl inlay techniques blended with modern Art Deco elements.
Majdal: A Blend of Tradition and Innovation
Majdal is a luxurious design inspired by the traditional palm leaf weaving craft in Bahrain, where heritage meets innovation in a unique jewelry piece. It features sparkling diamonds, surrounded by a carefully woven palm leaf frame, with metallic details in yellow and white gold.
The blue sapphire represents the sea, while the green emerald symbolizes the palm trees, reflecting Bahrain’s connection to the sea and its rich history. You can choose the design with white diamonds or add colored stones as desired.
Designer Mariam Nouruddin says: “I drew inspiration for ‘Majdal’ from the beauty of palm leaf weaving, adding a modern touch that blends tradition and innovation. Handicrafts are a source of inspiration for local artists, and I encourage future jewelry designers to draw from Bahraini crafts and promote them through their designs.”
Mariam Nouruddin promotes Bahraini handicrafts and the creativity of local artisans.
DURR AL KHALIJ

Diamold Philosophy & Grading
At the heart of our innovation lies the Diamold Grading System — a proprietary standard developed to elevate diamond artistry beyond conventional evaluation methods. While traditional grading focuses on material characteristics, Diamold introduces an artistic and structural dimension. Inspired by shell geometry and the luminous beauty of mother‑of‑pearl.
