At the age of 18 he moved to London to train as a jeweler at Central Saint Martins, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Jewelry Design. His first major milestone occurred when he won the Swarovski Award as a first-year student which gave him the opportunity to work for the global brand. The following year he received widespread recognition for his talent by being nominated for a UK Jewellery Award – aged 20 he was the youngest to be nominated. He has worked and designed for other leading household names, and in 2012 he launched in eponymous brand in Beirut. He was named an honorary Fine Jewelry Winner at the 2016 DDFC/Vogue Fashion Prize, and in 2019 he was ranked #2 on Forbes 30 Under 30 list for the Middle East, cementing his status as one of the Middle East’s top emerging talents. His jewelry has been worn by high-profile figures worldwide, including Queen Rania of Jordan, Megan the Duchess of Sussex and Celine Dion to name a few. With a love for both fine and fashion jewelry, Ralph fuses both worlds combining the preciousness and finesse of fine jewelry with the bold spirit of fashion jewelry, creating statement pieces with a fervent attention to detail and a strong emphasis on artistry and craftsmanship.
