To get a name in Arabic script jewelry, you choose the name, confirm its Arabic spelling, pick a calligraphy style and material, and work with a designer to turn it into a custom piece. At RolzGold in Dubai, founded by Rola Faour, bespoke pieces can be made in a Kufic-inspired style.
What does "name in Arabic script jewelry" mean?
It's a piece, such as a necklace, ring, bracelet, or anklet, where a name or word is written in Arabic letters instead of Latin ones. People choose it for themselves, for a partner or child, or as a gift. Some choose a word instead of a name, like "love," "hope," or a family phrase.
Step 1: Confirm the Arabic spelling
Names don't always translate one-to-one. English spellings can map to more than one Arabic spelling (Sara can be written سارة or سارا, for example), and Arabic is written right to left. Decide on the exact spelling before design begins, ideally with someone who reads Arabic, or ask your designer to confirm it with you.
Step 2: Choose a calligraphy style
• Kufic: angular and geometric, with a bold, modern look
• Naskh or Thuluth: flowing and curved, more classic and elegant
• Reinterpreted styles: RolzGold's "tribal Arabic" approach takes Kufic's geometry and adapts it into a more abstract, wearable design
If you want the name to stay clearly readable, mention that upfront, since more abstract designs can be harder to read.
• Frequently asked questions:
Can I order a word or phrase instead of a name?
Yes, that's common. Short words and meaningful phrases work well.
Can I get two names intertwined?
You can get as my intertwined names as you want.
How long does a custom piece take?
4 to 10 days
Can it be a gift?
[Add gift packaging, gift notes, or order-for-someone-else details.]
