Set up in 2006 by Nadine Kanso, Bil Arabi has quickly gotten one of the most energizing new brands to rise up in the Middle East. Affectionately handmade in the UAE, each Bil Arabi piece is a masterpiece, communicating Nadine's understanding and valuation for Arabic calligraphy in a contemporary, all-inclusive milieu. Consolidating her experience in graphic design and typography, Nadine made her absolute first bit of gems, a ring named 'Noon'' in 2006. Completely high quality in 18-carat gold and blessed with a semi-valuable stone, the ring that should have been an erratic move turned into an instant icon. The label, we can say, is an extension of Nadine Kanso, the photographer, who discovered her voice in the roads of Lebanon and UAE, telling realities that were far removed from the regular advertised pictures by the media from the locale.

WORKING STYLE: Nadine's tribute to the region, Noon, is what might be compared to the letter N; it not just introduced a contemporary perspective on Arabic sensibilities, yet in addition prompted a whole collection of jewelry commending every Arabic letter set. From letter sets came words; 'BHIBBAK', or 'I love you' was the main Arabic expression Nadine deified in gold. In the fine gems universe of yellow, white and rose gold, and amazing valuable and semi-valuable stones, Bil Arabi has cut a specific brand of self-articulation. With structures framed from the adapted delineation of individual messages and decorated with valuable stones, handmade Bil Arabi pieces are current treasures as well as offer a new view of Arabia. Nadine's bespoke work is also quite famous. She had earlier collaborated with Robert Wan, King of Pearls for the ‘Ya Noor El Ain' collection. This collection was presented at The Doha Watches and Jewellery Exhibition in 2016.
