style meets Gulf heritage — and it’s as elegant as you’d expect.
To celebrate her 31st birthday, Princess Rajwa of Jordan made headlines — and hearts melt — with a new portrait shared by her husband, Crown Prince Hussein, on Instagram. The photo, featuring the royal couple in coordinated earth-toned outfits, not only gave fans a glimpse of their relaxed, off-duty vibe but also spotlighted a luxe accessory with deep regional roots.
In the photo, Princess Rajwa keeps things effortlessly chic in a caramel-hued dress and cardigan by New York-based label Khaite, but it’s her earrings that quietly steal the show: custom-made drop earrings crafted with rare Bahraini pearls by heritage brand Mattar Jewellers.
The handcrafted piece blends tradition with modern flair — featuring sculptural gold beads, white diamonds, and Gulf-sourced natural pearls. The design was inspired by regional lampshades, giving it a touch of cultural symbolism wrapped in understated glamour.
Mattar Jewellers, a family-run business with 175 years of pearl expertise, has long been a hidden gem among royalty and high-end clients. They’re known for using natural Arabian Gulf pearls in bespoke creations — and the brand isn’t new to royal attention either. Queen Rania, Prince Hussein’s mother, has previously been seen with a Mattar clutch adorned in pearls.
Faten Mattar, sixth-generation jeweller and the brand’s director of brand and communications, said, “Our mandate is to get everyone to wear natural pearls … every single piece is different.” She added that exclusivity and discretion are key to Mattar’s appeal: “People tell us: ‘Oh, I’m shocked that I don’t know about you.’ But in our line of business, that’s how it should be.”
Mattar’s craftsmanship has also caught the eyes of global luxury houses like Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels — but in the case of Princess Rajwa, it’s a perfect match of modern royalty and timeless elegance.
TL;DR: Jordan’s Princess Rajwa just turned 31 in style — and her stunning Bahraini pearl earrings are making waves across the Gulf (and our feeds).
