Ofa Jewelry

From colors to basic gold and silver, Ofa Jewelry is the brainchild of Dubai-based, Saudi influencer Hala Abdallah. She actually started this brand because she couldn’t find her perfect piece. She started creating her own local community of jewelers in Dubai, and this is how Ofa came to life. The designs are immediately recognized with her signature organic star, and because they’re so minimal, you can easily stack them up for a fun and stylish look.
