In March 2016, ALAHMAR embraced a new chapter by relocating to Thailand—a move shaped by deep relationships with master Thai artisans. This milestone included official registration with the Thai Board of Investment (BOI) and the Department of Business Development (DBD), along with memberships in the Thai Gem & Jewelry Traders Association (TGJTA) and the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), Ministry of Commerce.
Since then, ALAHMAR has advanced steadily toward independence, culminating in a nearly fully in-house manufacturing atelier in Bangkok. This achievement fulfills the founders’ vision of self-sustainability, allowing every creation to be designed, crafted, and perfected under one roof. Over the years, ALAHMAR has grown into a name recognized for excellence, earning acclaim from discerning clients worldwide—private collectors, dignitaries, and celebrated figures from the red carpet.
Today, our jewelry is showcased in select prestigious retail destinations across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, while our presence at leading international trade fairs—Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Dubai, Bahrain, Qatar, and Vicenza—continues to strengthen our global recognition. Guided by a philosophy of quality over quantity, ALAHMAR approaches jewelry with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker. Every piece reflects uncompromising craftsmanship and an insistence on perfection—values that naturally limit production but elevate artistry. By 2022, ALAHMAR had established itself as a distinguished mid-scale haute joaillerie atelier, renowned for regal, rare, and uniquely exquisite works of art.
