For its 12th edition, the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition has chosen the theme “timeless elegance.” And more than 500 international and regional labels are set to deliver with superb craftsmanship, inspiring creativity and lasting appeal. Chanel, Boucheron, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Graff are among the names enthralling visitors to the Qatar National Convention Centre between February 24 and February 28. Fabergé, too, will be unveiling a new addition to its much-loved Imperial Collection. Known for exquisite use of diamonds and vibrant colored gemstones, the Imperial Collection is inspired by the Imperial Romanov court, and is known to evoke the Russian seasons — surely a charming novelty for visitors in desert climated-Doha.
