Where stones tell their story: an evening hosted by Fatima Helal
On the 10th February, Aliel, in collaboration with Emirati entrepreneur Fatima Helal, hosted an intimate gathering at Illiana Rooftop, Marsa Al Arab.
A distinguished circle of Emirati women came together for a private viewing of our high jewellery creations featuring rare coloured diamonds and exceptional, investment-grade gemstones. Each piece reflected Aliel’s commitment to visionary creativity, technical mastery and timeless beauty.
Guided by Adnan Hassanali, Managing Director of Aliel, guests were invited into the world behind the stones. In a private workshop, he spoke of origin, rarity, and the responsibility to honour each stone’s natural beauty and mystery, sharing the journey from concept to final form.
As a vertically integrated maison, Aliel oversees every stage, from sourcing rare gemstones at origin to cutting, setting and finishing within our Italian ateliers. The result is jewellery that is beautiful, deeply personal and inherently valuable. This philosophy extends to reimagining existing pieces, transforming original stones into heirlooms of renewed meaning.
The event concluded with a seated dinner and thoughtful exchange, where conversation and shared appreciation for artistry took centre stage. It is through these conversations that Aliel continues to grow, grounded in respect, understanding and shared creative vision.
We look forward to continuing to share our knowledge, our stones and our story with those who also value meaning as much as beauty.
