DUBAI: Here are three highlights from Saudi International Luxury Week which runs from May 8-11 in Jeddah and May 16-19 in Riyadh.
Charles Oudin
The famed Parisian watchmaker is one of more than 120 global brands participating in this month’s Saudi International Luxury Week, which will — according to the organizers — “showcase the best in exquisite gemstones, creativity, heritage and savoir-faire.” Established in 1797, Charles Oudin is one of the French capital’s oldest makers of timepieces.
Moussaieff
As one of the world’s most famous purveyors of high jewelry, Moussaieff’s client list has included international royalty (including the Saudi royal family). The house is most well known for its diamonds, including the Moussaieff Blue Diamond (sold for $7.98 million in 2007) and the Moussaieff Red Diamond, the largest such gem on record.
FerriFirenze
The Italian handmade jewelry brand is hugely popular among luxury shoppers in the Gulf, winning the Best Everyday Jewelry award at the Middle East Watch and Jewelry Awards 2022 (for its yellow gold, diamond-studded Soffio Bracelet). This will be one of the event’s most-popular stalls.
