The Bahraini fine jewellery designer may have only launched JGala in 2022, but Maryam Fayadh is already captivating the masses with her lifelong passion for creating irresistible jewels
My go-to working wardrobe... consists of smart casual black dresses when I’m not at work and oversized shirts paired with comfortable linen pants for my workshop. My go-to beauty look for the 9 to 5... embraces natural beauty. I prefer to keep my makeup routine simple, and my go-to products for a natural and flawless finish are concealer, a touch of blush and mascara. On occasions when I want to add a bit of extra flair, a winged eyeliner completes the look. For lunch I eat... something light. I love vegetables so I get creative with my salad recipes, and seafood is my top choice for protein. If I’m craving a heartier meal I’ll opt for burgers, tacos or sushi. What I love most about my job is... having the flexibility to schedule my work around my family’s time — I can prioritise my loved ones while also pursuing my dreams. I also love being able to create beautiful pieces that bring joy to women. It’s truly fulfilling work.View this post on Instagram
And what I enjoy the least is... administrative work. It can be incredibly time-consuming and often takes away from the joy and energy that I would rather devote to designing new pieces or learning more at the workshop.
When I get home I... go outside with my dog Quinn and then it’s family time. Depending on when we finish work, we might go out for a drive or a coffee date in the area before unwinding for dinner. I try to end my evening by reading a book instead of scrolling through social media. I couldn’t live without... my laptop. I carry it with me everywhere! When I feel stressed I... either find comfort in healthy desserts or go out for a short run or swim. It helps remind me that there’s no need to stress, as I always manage to accomplish what needs to be done. If I wasn’t in my current position, I would be... a writer. I love creating emotional experiences through the power of words. Explore JGala's collections here Read Next: 2023 Cannes Film Festival: The Best High JewelleryView this post on Instagram
