Randa Khalil Raad

Randa learned jewellery design at the Museum of Islamic Art, during the late 1980s in Kuwait. Gradually her skills were refined and she begun her journey from an eager apprentice to a master of the trade. Her extensive collaborations with goldsmiths, stone setters and enamelists allowed her to develop her creativity from experts and creative souls from around the world. Her work carries a pattern of honed excellence of uniquely designed pieces that capture the soul of her oriental narrative with a dash of contemporary interpretation.

Randa creates first for her individual artistic needs, her own lifestyle and reality tunnel. Trying to put something of herself, her life experiences into each piece: a sentimental value of a personal touch. The next jewel resides only in her mind’s eye, as her workflow does not include any sketching or planning. Execution is largely based on creative bursts of flow.

Her approach is pure intuition, she defines what her work is and should be while focusing on abstract concepts such as movement and natural elements. For RKR, creations are not merely wearables, but meditative pieces of art and contemplation.
