According to Al Romaizan, the design of the dress draws inspiration from traditional Emirati aesthetics, blending heritage motifs with structural innovation. Each element of the dress, from the carved gold patterns to the extended gold bracelet along the arm, reflects the precision and artistry for which the Gulf region’s jewellery industry has become known. 

The debut took place during one of the Middle East’s largest jewellery trade events, which this year hosted over 500 exhibitors and close to 1,800 designers and artisans from across the world. The unveiling attracted significant attention on the show floor, with visitors describing it as a milestone moment for regional jewellery craftsmanship. 

Speaking at the exhibition, Mohsen Al Dhaibani, Deputy Manager at Al Romaizan Gold, said the record-setting creation underscores the UAE’s growing influence as a global hub for gold and jewellery. “This masterpiece represents the UAE’s vision to lead globally and showcases Dubai as a premier destination for gold and jewellery enthusiasts,” he said. “By setting this record, we are sending a message to the world that the UAE can blend tradition with innovation and strengthen its position at the forefront of the global jewellery industry.”
