I am Haidy and this is my Missing Stone Story For years I had a dream, a dream to become a jewelry designer and design pieces of my own. I never knew where to start or what to do (although coming from a family of jewelers in Egypt), but being here in Dubai, I was just all alone, I was only taking part in the corporate race and I had no idea about anything related to the jewelry industry. 6 years ago during my maternity I started sketching some models but as soon as I got back to the corporate life, these sketches were simply lying down in the drawers. Years pass by, I look at the sketches and I just do nothing. Zero! It used to break my heart going back and forth past these sketches and not doing anything about them. But how could I do that being a full- time mum, a corporate employee, a wife, a socially active person and trying to have a decent life as a human being without any of these titles? It was simply impossible! In 2022 I had some challenges with my life. I was struggling with my corporate career and with getting my second baby. I was a little down and simply wanted to run away from everyone & everything (does that sound familiar to anyone?) I am a fun person btw how is that happening to me?? My parents bless them wanted to cheer me up, and they knew none of the pep talks helped, my life The coach didn’t help, and there was nothing of that sort that could change how I felt. Until one day, they decided to surprise me & do something thoughtful betting that would help to cheer me up, and that was taking one of my very old jewelry sketches designed 6 years ago and turn them into an actual jewelry piece. A real jewelry piece… AND THAT WAS IT!

I can finally see it, I can touch it, the sketch is no longer on paper, it is no longer a drawing or an image in my mind but a reality. I wouldn’t lie to you, that was such a good breather in the middle of everything and it helped. ALOT. I did an IVF, got a lovely baby girl and I decided to take a longer maternity leave (just 3 more months on top of what I have) from my corporate job to remove that dust that have been ramping up on my head to free my mind a bit to focus on me, and what I want to do with my life. And that was the birth of the missing stone jewelry concept… You know when you are just caught up with your everyday life and you don't have time to stop, breathe, think and absorb what is happening around you? I didn’t have time to do anything through-out the last few years, I swear. I was just ok that each day ends peacefully and everyone in my family is ok. But when I did have time, an important realization happened. Why have I been trying to find the missing thing in my life? Why I am always focused on the downfalls or the things that didn’t go right or my way and not seeing the bigger picture? Although we seek perfection in our lives & our stories, nothing in this world is perfect. The beauty of our lives lie in the perfection of its imperfection. We are usually blessed in one way or another, yes there will be times where things aren’t the way we want or there is something missing, but this is the beauty of our lives, We have to give ourselves credit for how far we have come and to appreciate what we have. And this is where the story of the missing stone jewelry begins. Each piece will always have a missing stone as a reminder of that note: the story will never be complete unless it is imperfect, and we have to accept it & appreciate it the way it is because. THIS IS LIFE…
