Founder of Gazelle, Nada Al-Sheikh, is an Egyptian 22-year old student currently studying in the American University of Cairo. With a passion for jewelry since a young age, she began learning the craftsmanship of jewelry from her mother, who was in the jewelry business in Saudi Arabia for over 10 years. Inspired by her, she began Gazelle for unisex jewelry in 2015 when she moved to Egypt. Her designs are inspired by patterns, figures, and colors found across Egypt. The materials used in her pieces are 925 sterling silver, crafted at a local workshop, along with precious and semi-precious stones. Gazelle creates contemporary pieces that add a discerning element to any outfit.

Menna Hamza is a fine arts graduate who has a passion for wearable art and heart-felt handmade knick-knacks. She believes that all women are beautiful in their own way, and thus deserve to flaunt art wherever they go. In 2006, she decided to realize this passion into jewelry that she and her young friends can wear to college. Her love and devotion to jewelry grew with her; in 2013 she finally decided to take this passion to a new level of design and artisanal production, where quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail are top priority.

Today, Menna Hamza Jewelry is showcased in Cairo, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi; with plans for expansion in the near future.
