Doha, Qatar - A century ago, a young pearl trader named Ali Al Majed began his journey with a passion for the sea and its precious pearls, becoming one of the most prominent traders in the Gulf. His sons, particularly Mahdi, carried on the legacy after their father's passing, weathering the recession that followed the introduction of cultured pearls during World War II.
With the discovery of oil in the 1940s and a new era of prosperity, Mahdi established "Al Majed Jewellery" in 1940s, which expanded to include gold, diamonds, and pieces from renowned European designers.
Today, the business is managed by Mahdi's three sons, Ahmed, Mohammed, and Jamil, who honor the family tradition with dedication. They have elevated the brand's image and services by adding world-renowned brands such as Patek Philippe, A. Lange & Söhne, F.P. Journe, Hublot, IWC, TAG Heuer, Jacob & Co., Gérald Genta, Daniel Roth, Grand Seiko, Zenith, and other prestigious houses like Moussaieff, Boghossian, Pasquale Bruni, Roberto Coin, Palmiero, Zydo, Busatti Milano, and Yoko London.
Al Majed Jewellery's luxurious showcase will be featured at the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition (DJWE) 2026, running from September 28 to October 3, 2026, at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC).
