Jewellery carries more than beauty alone. For many Muslim women they are an expression of faith, identity and pride. Islamic jewellery such as Allah pendants, Quran rings and Arabic bracelets have become increasingly popular in recent years as fashion-conscious accessories with deep meaning.
What is Islamic jewellery?
Islamic jewellery is jewellery that carries Islamic texts, symbols or calligraphy. The most common types are:
- Allah pendant - The Arabic word for God in elegant calligraphy. One of the most worn Islamic jewellery pieces in the world.
- Ayatul Kursi necklace - The Throne Verse from the Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 255), worn as protection and blessing.
- Quran ring - A ring with Arabic calligraphy, often with the Shahada or other Quranic verses.
- Arabic bracelet - Bracelets with Islamic texts or symbols such as the crescent moon and star.
Is it permitted in Islam to wear jewellery?
For women, wearing jewellery, including gold and silver, is fully permitted in Islam. Islamic jewellery is widely worn by Muslim women as an expression of faith and beauty. Titanium steel and stainless steel are popular alternatives because they are hypoallergenic, do not discolour and are affordable.
How to wear Islamic jewellery?
- Wear jewellery with Quranic texts with respect.
- Combine an Allah pendant on a delicate chain for an elegant everyday look.
- Stack bracelets for a bold statement or wear one subtly for a minimalist style.
- Choose waterproof materials like titanium steel if you want to wear them all day.
