The House of Fine Jewelry

Maison of Fine Jewelry — Beyond Time

Khan El-Khalili · Old Cairo

Born in the Heart of
Islamic Cairo

Our story begins not in a modern boutique, but in the ancient alleyways of Khan el-Khalili — the great bazaar of Old Cairo, founded in 1382, where goldsmiths and jewellers have traded their craft for seven centuries. It was here that our great-grandfather first learned the language of gold: how it bends, how it catches light, how it holds a story.

In 1936, carrying that knowledge from the souk into a new era, he established El Mawardy — a name that would become synonymous with fine jewellery in Cairo for generations to come.

"From the old souk to your hands — the same craft, the same soul."
El Mawardy — since 1936

1382

Khan el-Khalili is Founded

The great bazaar of Old Cairo opens in the heart of Islamic Cairo — a labyrinth of gold merchants, gem traders and master craftsmen that has never closed its gates.

Our Great-Grandfather's Workshop

Among those ancient alleyways, our great-grandfather set up his workshop — learning the craft of goldsmithing surrounded by centuries of tradition, setting stones by hand and shaping metal over an open flame.

1936

El Mawardy is Established

The El Mawardy name is born — carrying the soul of Khan el-Khalili into a new generation, a bridge between the ancient bazaar and the modern city growing around it.

Today

Four generations on, the same family hands still shape the gold. The same reverence for the craft. The same Cairo light catching the same stones.
