Seven Hands, Forty-Two Steps.
Behind every MAMS piece is a slow, patient journey from raw bullion to mirror finish — performed at one bench, in one room, inside the Dubai Gold Souk.
The Journey of a Piece
Each piece passes through seven distinct stages. None can be rushed.
- 01
Drawing
The form begins on paper — pencil studies refined over weeks until the proportions settle.
- 02
Wax Carving
The drawing is cut by hand into a block of jeweler's wax — every contour traced, every facet judged by eye.
- 03
Casting
The wax is lost in plaster and replaced with molten 22-carat gold, poured at the bench, never outsourced.
- 04
Filing
The raw cast is filed by hand for forty hours or more, until the surface answers the original drawing.
- 05
Stone Setting
Diamonds and pearls are placed under the loupe, seat by seat, until light catches them from every angle.
- 06
Polishing
Six passes — pumice, tripoli, rouge, two cloths, one cotton — until the gold returns light like still water.
- 07
Signing
The maker's mark is struck inside the piece. Only then is it weighed, recorded, and placed in its velvet case.
Materials
Every material is named, traced, and accountable to one hand.

The Signature
The Signature
Inside every MAMS piece you will find a small struck mark — the maker's name, the carat, the year. It is the only signature we share with the world. The piece may pass through three generations; the signature does not change hands.
