The ‘UAE50’ rings are created using platinum, diamond and natural stones
Abu Dhabi-based American jewellery designer Tariq Riaz sold his home in the US to fund a project dedicated entirely to the UAE’s cultural foundations.
Riaz is marking UAE’s golden jubilee with a stunning collection of rings inspired by the watch tower of Qasr Al Hosn and the iconic Al Jahili Fort, among others.
The ‘UAE50‘ rings are created using platinum, diamond and natural stones. Riaz, a former computer engineer, said the project took more than four years to finish.
“I am from the US. I have been living in Abu Dhabi for the past 10 years. My job brought me to the UAE,” Riaz said at the 28th Jewellery and Watch Show in Abu Dhabi.
