The gold and silver gallery at the Waqif Art Centre has been witnessing hordes of jewellery lovers wishing to buy some of acclaimed jeweller Madonna Thierry's creations. Since it opened on Tuesday, the jewellery exhibit titled 'A Collection Diffusing Messages of Faith, Love and Happiness', saw buyers in queue for Thierry's 'BeMad' collection. Launched five years ago, 'BeMad' brand caters for the young generation and includes rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and key chains in 18k gold, diamond, precious and semi-precious stones, on rubber, steel, mother of pearl and on silver. "This is the second time that Madonna Thierry has come to Doha for an exhibit and so far has been receiving very enthusiastic response from the people," said John H Kassabian, Manager at the Waqif Art Centre told The Peninsula. "These pieces have been crafted by Thierry especially for this event," Kassabian said adding that the presence of Arabic calligraphy engraved in the collection makes them unique and outstanding. Madonna Thierry is a graduate of the Parsons School of Design, New York, in environmental and interior design. During her years at Parsons School Madonna took credit of jewellery design and had her training in Paris at Poiray, one of the renowned jeweller at Place Vendome. Having had many successful exhibitions in many countries since 1987 and garnered first prize in the Tahitian Pearl Trophy in 2002, Madonna Thierry has built up many sophisticated potential customers due to her initiative in introducing her own line of unique designs. The strength of Thierry's jewellery is its tradition of skilled craftsmanship and innovative designs- all designed by herself and manufactured in her own workshop under her direct supervision. People who want to buy or simply have a look at the priceless collection may visit the gallery until Saturday. The Pen
