From Swarovski pendants to Nadine Kanso’s new Bil Arabi jewellery range, we pick Eid gifts for him and her that will really make a statement.

Bag it

The Albondoqiya handbag by the UAE luxury maison Feathers is inspired by the city of Venice and one of Italy’s most celebrated polymaths. This Eid, there is a new, smaller version of the popular bag available in black, brown, green, grey and peach. The piece was based on drawings of a handbag by Leonardo da Vinci in 1497, and features leaf motifs, elaborate swirls and creeping, vine-like patterns. Costs Dh3,250, available at Feathers boutiques.

Starry style

Dubai-based designer and artist Nadine Kanso’s new Bil Arabi jewellery range is now available at S*uce. The Shine Collection, inspired by the night sky, includes standouts such as star motif rings and gold stud earrings. Another design likely to prove popular is a pair of drop earrings, themed around constellations and dotted with stars that are linked together with Arabic calligraphy. Available at Bloomingdales at The Dubai Mall, Harvey Nichols and S*uce boutiques across the UAE. Prices available upon request.

Crystal clear

Our favourite pieces from Swarovski’s new collection include large, penny-shaped pendants adorned with sapphire- and emerald-coloured crystals. There are also earrings frosted with diamond-like stones and gleaming pearls. And if you’re looking for something decorative for your wrist there’s plenty to choose from, not least a chocolate-brown watch with glinting mocha dial, or a matching gold version with a face of white crystals.
