The Maison
What is
Maison Mirath
Mirath is the Arabic word for legacy. âA modern legacy doesnât have to date back 30 + years⊠It can be new, classical or modern with a timeless appeal embedded into it. Yes, jewelry is an object. But we attach sentimental value to beauty especially when it enhances how we present ourselves to the world and when it ties to special moments. In that sense, legacy renews itselfâ.
The Woman behind it
Born in Barouk - Lebanon, Soha Abou Alwan Hamdan is a Lebanese-Canadian jeweler and mother of two who never let go of her dream. A graduate with two masters' degrees in Education and Literature, she had a fulfilling 20-year career as an educator while privately nurturing her passion for precious and gemstones. In 2015, overcoming her apprehensions and challenges, Soha decided it was time to pursue her dream. She joined the âInstitut de Gemologieâ in Paris and started her own jewelry brand âSabulosityâ. This was her rebirth.
Soha started her brand in the midst of Beirut, in the golden triangle of Ashrafieh, with a boutique that ties the Lebanese heritage with the modern touch, reflecting the essence of her pieces. Her aim is to cater to a discerning clientele of luminary women whose stories and achievements inspire her and who invest in âwearable fine artâ that reflect who they are.
The mirath family
Nadine Hamdan soon followed in her motherâs footsteps; after launching her media career in the GCC, she found herself invested in the success story of her mother. The two women provide a personalized experience at Maison Mirath and an increasingly extensive expertise in Gemology and Jewelry design while collaborating with talented craftsmen worldwide.
A contrast in their design approaches presents a unique appeal in crafted jewelry pieces that merge classical with contemporary, and originality with style; the timeless jewelry of today & tomorrow.
