What We Are Buying Today: Edgy, eclectic and elegant La Mira jewelry

  • Samira Fahmi’s pieces can be passed on as heirlooms
  • Innovative use of gold, diamonds, semiprecious stones

From an edgy take on symbols like its XO collection to a game-changing puzzle-like creation, La Mira jewelry has eclectic, yet elegant designs highlighting the innate brilliance of pieces that imbues old-world aesthetic with a sharply modern accent.

Samira Fahmi founded La Mira jewelry in December 2021 to create fun and fabulous pieces that are beautifully crafted, to be worn, loved, cherished and passed on as heirlooms. Thinking out of the box is kind of her emblem. Her first creation was the design of a puzzle which is also her signature collection, inspired by the beautiful moments spent playing puzzles with her kids during the harsh isolation of COVID-19. She believes her jewelry empowers and brings joy as well as unveiling emotions and elevating the spirit.

She crafts her shapes as symbols of bounciness and deconstructs them across several collections. These consist of necklaces and earrings punctuated by precision craftsmanship. She will soon add bracelets and brooches. Fahmi’s designs feature innovative use of 18 karat gold, diamonds and semiprecious stones.

La Mira’s collections have received worldwide praise and is set to be featured on the renowned online site of Farfetch, under the Elle B. Zhou category.

Fahmi never intended to be in the jewelry world. As a hotel and tourism graduate she planned to own and run a restaurant or boutique hotel. But there was a different future ahead. Designing her own pieces that focused on a modern and joyful playfulness while mixing materials like acrylic with gold or even resin attracted attention and compliments from those close to her.

This encouraged her to launch her own business. She attended workshops and enrolled at IAP Career College to gain further skills.

She recently launched her ALULA collection which took seven months to complete. Every creation in this collection is handcrafted which includes a bed of citrine cabochon to infuse more light throughout the pieces. She is meticulous in the way she designs, assembles, polishes and then chooses the stones to be used.

Her upcoming work is entitled “MY BELOVED SWORD” which praises courage, perseverance and nobility. Some of the pieces are luxurious but can be worn daily by those who prefer to do so.

You can find La Mira jewelry at Homegrown market in Jeddah or place an order through the website https://redruby-jewelry.com/

Sarah Taibah features in Cole Haan’s campaign shot in Jeddah

Sarah Taibah features in Cole Haan’s campaign shot in Jeddah

  • Taibah wears several of brand’s designs in images on streets, rooftops

DUBAI: Saudi actor Sarah Taibah this week shared a campaign she fronted with US footwear brand Cole Haan, photographed across the streets and rooftops of Jeddah.

Taibah wore several of the brand’s designs in the images, including pointed-toe heels finished with oversized bow detailing, sleek slingback pumps with a low heel, and classic closed-toe styles for everyday wear.

Her outfits leaned into understated tailoring and clean lines, featuring structured denim sets, fitted jackets paired with midi skirts, and coordinated two-piece looks in dark and earthy tones.

“My intention for this Ramadan is calmness and lightness,” she captioned her post. “To move through the day at my own pace, follow my intuition and less noise in general.” 

Taibah — an artist, writer, filmmaker and actor — is known for her roles in the psychological thriller “Hoba” and “A Matter of Life and Death.”

“Hoba” screened at the BFI London Film Festival last year. Taibah previously told Arab News about her performance in the Emirati horror film, directed by Majid Al-Ansari, who is known for the critically acclaimed 2015 film “Zinzana.”

She said: “I got so excited about ‘Hoba’ for two reasons: First, I like the director. I remember seeing his first film, and I thought that he does things differently. Second, I really appreciated him not typecasting me. I’m always cast by directors in certain roles that are really similar to my character, as Sarah, but with Majid, he saw something else. The character couldn’t be more different than me. I’ve never been this challenged, not only because she’s the villain of the movie, but also because it allowed me to experience different techniques, to tap into something a bit supernatural, something I have zero clue how to relate to.” 

“Hoba” tells the story of a devoted wife and mother — Amani, played by Bdoor Mohammed — whose life begins to unravel when her husband returns home with a second wife, Zahra (Taibah), and an unseen dark force infiltrates her home.

Meanwhile, “A Matter of Life and Death” premiered at the Red Sea International Film Festival in December. 

Billed as a quirky love story, the film is set in Jeddah. It follows superstitious Hayat, played by Taibah, who is “convinced a generational curse will kill her on her 30th birthday.”
