The 55th edition of the Watch and Jewellery Middle East Show is ongoing at Expo Centre Sharjah, delivering an exceptional showcase of cutting-edge and exclusive jewellery designs.
Organised by Expo Centre Sharjah with support from the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), the exhibition stands as the region’s largest and most influential gatherings in the luxury jewellery and timepiece sector.
Among the key highlights of this edition is the “Union Frame” which has now entered the Guinness World Records as the world’s largest gold frame.
Making its debut at the exhibition, the opulent piece is entirely crafted from 21-karat pure gold and is introduced by Golden Arabia Jewellery under the theme “Art that Tells the Story of a Nation”.
The frame embodies a blend of fine craftsmanship and national pride, designed to communicate the enduring spirit of the UAE’s union, anchored in a deep-rooted heritage and guided by forward-looking aspirations. This lavish creation encapsulates the UAE’s historical and cultural landmarks in a single piece that narrates the story of the Union, from its ancient heritage to its prosperous present.
The unique piece features intricate gold carvings of iconic landmarks from all seven emirates, including the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, symbolising tolerance and harmony; the Quran Roundabout in Sharjah, reflecting its role as a cultural hub in the Arab region, and Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
The massive frame also features the historic Dhayah Fort in Ras Al Khaimah, the oldest of its kind in the region; Umm Al Quwain’s Museum and Fort, Fujairah Fort showcasing traditional architecture, and the Ajman Museum.
The 55th Watch and Jewellery Middle East Show, open to visitors over the weekend, from 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm, provides an exclusive platform to explore premium gold, jewellery, and luxury watch collections.
