Hey everyone! Today, we would like to introduce you to Shaï, a wonderful jewellery brand based in Geneva and handmade in Egypt. Let us begin 🙂
The brand…
Everything began in Spring last year, when ideas were flourishing in the designers’ minds. Later on, during Summer, the first design came out. The brand then was able to be officially launched in November 2016. The concept of the brand is to sell only handmade Egyptian-inspired jewellery, Egypt being the country of the origin of the two designers. The designers are based in Geneva, but really, the roots of the brand go back to Egypt, where the production is solely made by one talented craftsman. The brand is called Shaï, in reference to the Egyptian God of destiny and creativity.
The designers…
This time, we have not one but two people behind the brand. The two sisters always wanted to start a jewellery brand. One day, as one sister offered a piece of jewellery to the other, it became clear that they would no longer wait to start their own brand. They take inspiration from patterns found on textiles, to which they give an oriental turn. Geometrical beauty is another feature that is very important to the two designers.
What we love about it…
Every piece is truly unique, because they are all cut by hand by an Egyptian craftsman. We are just blown away by how many details some pieces can contain. This makes it actually hard to believe that it was crafted by hand. 😉 Apart from that, we must say that the designs are really original and authentic. The importance of geometry for the designers is obvious and opens the door to the elaboration of beautiful pieces.

Coucou tout le monde! Aujourd’hui on vous présente une marque de bijoux basée à Genève et dont les créations sont réalisées à la main en Egypte: Shaï. Découvrez leur univers 😉
La marque…
Tout commence au printemps 2016, lorsqu’un flux d’inspiration traverse l’esprit des créatrices. Durant l’été, une première esquisse de modèle de bijou est créé. La marque est alors lancée officiellement en novembre 2016. Le concept de la marque est de proposer uniquement des pièces faites main inspirées de l’Egypte, pays d’origine des créatrices. Celles-ci vivent à Genève mais la production de bijoux est faite en Egypte par un talentueux artisan. “Shaï” est choisi comme nom de marque, en référence au Dieu égyptien de la destinée et de la créativité.
Les créatrices…
Cette fois, nous n’avons non pas une mais deux personnes derrière la marque. Les deux sœurs ont toujours voulu créer leur propre marque de bijoux. Un jour, alors qu’une des soeurs offre un bijou à l’autre, il apparaît comme une évidence qu’elles n’attendraient plus pour lancer leur marque. Elles s’inspirent de motifs de tissus, auxquels elles insufflent une touche d’Orient. Elles sont également inspirées par les motifs géométriques.
Ce qu’on adore…
Chaque pièce est unique, car chacune est découpée à la main par un artisan égyptien. Nous sommes impressionnés par le nombre de petits détails que contiennent certaines pièces: cela rend presque difficile à croire que le travail est fait main, et pourtant! 😉 Les designs nous plaisent par leur originalité et authenticité. L’importance de l’harmonie géométrique est évidente et ouvre la porte à l’élaboration de magnifiques pièces.
