H Jewellery turns Qatari stories into contemporary design

Hamad al-Mohammed, the founder and designer behind H Jewellery, has found a unique way to enrich his brand's identity through collaborations. Speaking at the recently concluded Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE) 2026, al-Mohammed highlighted four artistic collaborations showcased through the Scale7-supported Qatari Designers Pavilion.
He expressed that collaborations enhance the brand's identity, making it more distinctive. Among these partnerships, one featured Qatari artist Dr Afra al-Naemi, resulting in a torch-inspired design. Another collaboration reinterpreted textile into jewellery, using gold to recreate the texture of fabric. A third collaboration drew from Qatar's maritime culture, blending wood with pearls and diamonds.
The fourth statement piece was inspired by sport, with the designer's signature approach of transforming familiar cultural references into jewelry with a narrative behind them. This emphasis on storytelling has grown since H Jewellery's inception, now featuring over 30 artists under its brand. Al-Mohammed noted that each collaborator brings a unique perspective, not just an additional design.
He emphasized that the pieces are delivered with the story behind them, which enhances the overall customer experience. H Jewellery was among the featured Qatari brands at this year's Qatari Designers Pavilion, supported by Scale7, Qatar Development Bank's creative and cultural industries hub. The pavilion provided local brands with an opportunity to present their work alongside established international jewellery houses.
For al-Mohammed, the exhibition underscored the increasing centrality of using jewelry to carry Qatari artistic identity, heritage, and individual stories into contemporary design.
