SPEAKER PROFILE

Aisha Abdulmalik
Creative Director, Aisha Jewels

Aisha Jewels Company W.L.L. (“Aisha Jewels” or the “Company”) is a Bahraini jewelry design company. The Company s founded and led by Ms. Aysha Abdulmalek who was at the time one of the youngest designers and entrepreneurs in the region. A young Bahraini talent, Ms. Abdulmalek started her brand in 2014 in Bahrain at the age of 17 and has already grown to be a GCC-wide provider of custom made, high-end jewelry pieces, crafted to the Company’s high standards, by top goldsmiths in the region. Currently, Aisha Jewels is a well-recognized regional brand with more than half of its revenues coming from exports.

Born as a result of participating in Tamkeen’s Mashro3i competition in 2013-14 and equipped with the Founder’s savings as working capital, Aisha Jewels embarked on a systematic and focused approach to carve a niche for itself in the fiercely competitive high-end jewelry market. Two things were very clear from the beginning; beautiful art alone does not create a successful business but hard work, coupled with a sound and well thought approach does and, surviving in the real world of business is not for the faint hearted.

The Company is a firm believer in developing regional online retailing for high-end products due to the unlimited catchment and inherent cost efficiencies.  Therefore, Aisha Jewels was born as a virtual shop through social media and later its own website until the demand for the brand dictated opening classical outlets.  Currently, while continuously improving its online footprint, selective Aisha Jewels ready pieces can be found in prestigious locations of our manufacturing partners Devji & Co. at City Center - Bahrain and Dubai Mall - UAE. Moreover, for those seeking bespoke designs, Ms. Aysha Abdulmalek, receives her clients, by appointment, at her elegant studio at the Business Bay Tower in Bahrain.

Aisha Jewels was the winner of the best student run company in Bahrain in 2017 and represented Bahrain in the same global competition in Frankfurt in 2018.  Also, in 2018 Aisha Jewels was honored by receiving the Kingdom’s best Micro Company Award from HRH the Crown Prince.

Ms. Aysha Abdulmalek is a holds a bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design from the Royal University of Women.
