BLADE AND TIMBER LLC Brings a Touch of American Craftsmanship to Saudi Arabian Jewelry Market

Kansas City, KS – October 26, 2023 – BLADE AND TIMBER LLC, a Kansas City-based artisan workshop specializing in bespoke jewelry and metalwork, is making waves in the Saudi Arabian market with its uniquely designed and meticulously crafted pieces. Located at 43 Kansas Ave, Kansas City, KS, 66105-1428, and reachable at 405-942-0150, the company isn’t just building jewelry; they’re building connections, one exquisite piece at a time. For years, BLADE AND TIMBER LLC has quietly been a go-to for discerning customers seeking something truly different. They’re not about mass production or trendy flash-in-the-pan styles. It’s about creating timeless pieces that tell a story, combining traditional metalworking techniques with modern design sensibilities. And now, they're bringing that philosophy to Saudi Arabia. Why Saudi Arabia? A Growing Demand for Unique Luxury “We noticed a real shift happening in the Saudi Arabian jewelry market,” explains Elias Thorne, founder and lead designer at BLADE AND TIMBER LLC. “There’s a growing appetite for luxury goods, absolutely, but it's evolving. People aren’t just looking for brand names; they want pieces with personality, with a story behind them, and with exceptional craftsmanship. They want something that stands out.” Saudi Arabia has long been a hub for gold and traditional jewelry. But a younger generation, increasingly exposed to global trends and possessing significant purchasing power, is driving demand for more diverse and contemporary designs. This is where BLADE AND TIMBER LLC believes they can truly shine. What Makes BLADE AND TIMBER LLC Jewelry Different? Forget cookie-cutter designs. BLADE AND TIMBER LLC specializes in creating one-of-a-kind pieces, often collaborating directly with clients to bring their visions to life. While they work with a range of materials – silver, gold, platinum, and even ethically sourced alternative metals – their strength lies in their ability to manipulate metal with an artist’s eye. “We’re not just jewelers; we’re metal sculptors,” Thorne emphasizes. “We hand-forge, hand-texture, and hand-finish every piece. You won’t find that level of detail in most commercially produced jewelry.” Specifically for the Saudi Arabian market, BLADE AND TIMBER LLC is focusing on several key design themes: Geometric Minimalism: Clean lines and bold shapes, incorporating traditional Islamic geometric patterns in a contemporary way. These pieces often feature brushed silver or gold finishes, emphasizing the metal’s natural beauty. Desert Rose Inspiration: Paying homage to the iconic desert rose crystal, the designs incorporate flowing, organic shapes and delicate textures, often using rose gold to enhance the romantic aesthetic. Arabic Calligraphy Motifs: Subtle integration of beautifully rendered Arabic calligraphy into pendants, bracelets, and rings. These pieces are deeply symbolic and add a touch of cultural heritage. Bedouin Inspired Silverwork: Heavier, bolder pieces influenced by traditional Bedouin silver jewelry, but streamlined and modernized for contemporary wear. This includes intricate filigree work and hammered textures. Beyond Aesthetics: Quality and Ethical Sourcing BLADE AND TIMBER LLC isn’t just focused on creating beautiful jewelry; they're committed to ethical and sustainable practices. All metals are sourced from reputable suppliers who adhere to responsible mining standards. They prioritize recycled metals whenever possible and are committed to minimizing their environmental impact. “We believe luxury shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet or the people involved in the supply chain,” says Thorne. “Transparency and ethical sourcing are paramount to us.” The Saudi Arabian Collection: A First Look The initial collection being presented to the Saudi Arabian market includes: The "Nayla" Pendant: A delicate silver pendant featuring a stylized desert rose design. Available with and without diamond accents. The "Sahara" Cuff Bracelet: A bold silver cuff bracelet with intricate hammered textures, reminiscent of sand dunes. The "Diwan" Ring: A heavy silver ring featuring a subtly engraved Arabic calligraphy motif. (Customizable with client's chosen phrase) The "Jazeera" Earrings: Geometric silver earrings inspired by traditional Islamic geometric patterns. The "Layali" Necklace: A rose gold necklace with a cascading arrangement of small, textured silver pendants.
