The calling of an artist is rarely a deliberate choice. Instead, the creative path is often a serendipitous meeting between destiny and dedication.
Such was the case for Lina Muhtadi, who grew up in Palestine with a profound love for nature, her heritage, and the arts. Yet, she never considered herself an artist, instead pursuing a career in finance.
Lina's life took an unexpected turn when she was inspired by her mother's passion for crafting pearl jewelry. Uncertain yet compelled to create, Lina began experimenting with gold and precious gemstones, giving birth to her unique visual language and distinctive style.
Upon witnessing the enchantment in her first clients’ eyes as they adorned her jewelry, Lina’s pursuit of wearable artistry was solidified. Over the span of 30 years, this everlasting bond between the jewelry, its wearers, and the designer has become the defining experience of Juman Pearls.
