Collecting traditional silver pieces which were worn by Palestinian women and girls, reproducing similar sterling silver pieces, and producing new silver pieces inspired by heritage.

Our Story:

FaddetZaman is a non-profit project, that is created to support the works of Al-Rowat for Studies and Research Institute.

AL-Rowat documents Palestinians oral history through recording oral narratives that focus on the stories of marginalized groups whose testimonies were left out when history was written. It also documents Palestinian jewelry as part of Palestinian women’s collective memory.
