An architect's eye,
set in gold
ARQA is a contemporary Emirati fine-jewellery house, founded in 2019 on a simple conviction: that jewellery can be designed with the precision and intent of architecture.
From sketch to setting
Aisha Rashid is an IGI- and GIA-certified Diamond Graduate who founded ARQA after her gemmological training — pairing technical command of stones and metals with a designer's instinct for form.
Every ARQA piece begins by hand, on paper. Proportions are drawn, measured and refined — the octagon, the fan, the endless circle — before a single gram of gold is set. It is a discipline borrowed from architecture and contemporary art, and it is what gives the collections their balance and quiet confidence.
Inspired by modern architectural forms and contemporary art.
