Our Story

I founded MENA Jewelry in 2017 with a simple belief: jewelry can carry meaning far beyond what the eye can see.

For me, jewelry has always been personal. It reflects identity, faith, culture, and the stories we carry with us every day. I wanted to create pieces that weren’t just beautiful, but intentional. Pieces that feel grounding. Pieces that remind you who you are and where you come from.

MENA Jewelry grew from that idea, shaped by passion, persistence, and a deep connection to community. From the beginning, giving back has always been part of our foundation. Supporting community programs, uplifting young entrepreneurs, and being present for those around us wasn’t an afterthought, it was the heart of what we believed in.

Most recently, my fiancée Sarah stood by my side, helping me bring this vision to life. She was deeply involved in delivering beautiful pieces to our clients and believed wholeheartedly in what MENA Jewelry represented. Sarah had a rare and genuine love for children. She worked closely with young kids and was aspiring to become an elementary school teacher. Her heart was drawn to nurturing, teaching, and creating safe spaces where children could grow and feel seen.

In September 2025, Sarah passed away.

Her passing changed me. It reshaped how I view life, purpose, and the responsibility that comes with building something meaningful. Loss has a way of clarifying what truly matters. For me, it transformed MENA Jewelry from a brand into a living legacy.

Today, MENA Jewelry is one of the ways I honor Sarah.

Through this brand, we focus on giving back in ways that reflect her heart. We sponsor orphaned children, help students access education, and support families in need so their children can learn, grow, and build a future. Every act of giving is rooted in the love Sarah had for children and her belief in the power of education.

Her spirit lives on through this work. It shows up in every decision, every initiative, and every moment we choose compassion over convenience. MENA Jewelry is no longer just about what we create, but who we serve and why.

When you wear MENA Jewelry, you are part of that story.
You are part of a mission shaped by love, resilience, and purpose.
You are helping carry forward a legacy built on giving back to the children Sarah loved with all her heart.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for being part of something bigger.
