The story
The sambuk is a Gulf dhow once used for pearling and fishing. It carried pearls, dates and stories across the Gulf.
How it's made
Drawn in our Dubai studio and modelled in 3D with Tsukuri at NYU Abu Dhabi. Each charm is cast in solid brass in Lebanon, then filed and polished by hand by a jeweller. No two are exactly alike.
