Clara Chehab

2025

Since launching Clara Chehab fine jewelry in Paris in March 2023, the brand has built a dedicated international following. It is known for recognizable graphic shapes and for juxtaposing raw, juicy-colored gemstones such as aquamarine or imperial topaz with a mix of faceted stones.

As a young girl, Clara dreamt of working with jewelry. Her childhood memories of visiting the goldsmith with her late grandmother fueled her passion. After leaving London's corporate banking world, Clara could no longer ignore her desire to create. She returned to Beirut, took the leap and launched her namesake collection.

Now, as the designer of a fine jewelry brand, Clara creates earrings, bracelets, and rings all destined to become part of a client’s life story. Her enchanting designs in 18-karat gold connect with colors and unique textures of her favorite gemstones, which include peridot, rubies, aquamarines and tourmalines.  

“As a designer, my goal is to express emotion and artistry through the pieces I create,” she explains. “I want those who wear them to feel powerful and connected to Earth’s energies and the beauty that lives within their minds.”

Strong stones, soft designs, and rich colors give life to pieces that are sensual and irrevocably feminine. She describes herself as “a traveler and global citizen at heart,” so selling to women globally is something she finds truly invigorating.  “Based in Beirut, I’m proud of my Lebanese heritage and support local artisans whose goldsmithing and gemology skills have been passed down over the centuries.”
