Our Story

It all started as a wax experiment

Founded by Noura Alserkal, jewelry artist and lecturer, Turabi bridges art and fine jewelry through material honesty and story-driven design.

During her time studying jewellery design abroad, the founder of Turabi discovered a deeper connection to her Arabic roots. The distance and immersion in other cultures served to create closer bonds with home and inspired her to challenge the notions of what it means to be a modern Arab woman.
In a sea of beauty standards that define a polished perfection, we explore a different story; the imperfectly perfect. We’re challenging the notion of representation, transcending constraints around gender, race, culture and body image. Our pieces exist for anyone who seeks to bend the rules. Those who take pride in unique self expression. This is more than a jewellery line. These are art-inspired pieces that re-engineer a narrative.

  • Who we are?

    Turabi is a Dubai-born fine jewelry studio celebrating the beauty of imperfection. Each piece is handcrafted in precious metals such as gold, and designed to be worn every day and made to last a lifetime.

  • Our Philosophy

    • Imperfection as beauty, creating organic lines and textures.
    • Transparency regarding the process
    • Small-batch craft by using considered design.
