'I've always wanted to continue my father's legacy and my grandfather's trade. I felt like this is the perfect time to launch Kahawaty Jewels in Dubai, which is a city I've been in for over 13 years.' For Jessica, building the brand with her father has been a meaningful journey. 'He's the only man I trust when it comes to diamonds and jewelry. He has an impeccable eye for detail and quality,' she added. 'He has the most incredible craftsmanship. So, I learned so much from him, and launching this with my father feels like a true partnership.'
