THE HOUSE OF AZIZ AND WALID MOUZANNAR, GENERATIONS OF JEWELRY EXPERTISE…

Since the 18th century the Mouzannar Family has been established as leading fine jewelers in the Middle East. In the 1950s the late Aziz Mouzannar and his brother Walid made significant contributions to the transformation of Beirut’s Jeweler’s Souk, positioning it as a main jewelry destination for the entire Middle East.
The Lebanese Civil War destroyed the Souk, but it did not affect the prestige of the Mouzannar family whose name remains as an absolute reference in the jewelry industry.
The creations made by the house of Aziz and Walid Mouzannar are inspired by Middle Eastern tradition and antiquity with a contemporary feel, making them timeless classics, sought for their high value and emotional substance.

Walid Mouzannar, educated in the field of law, leads with his lively personality which endeared him to the loyal clientele base both nationally and internationally. Walid is the strategic link between the six generations of the fine jewelry lineage. He has brought wisdom, innovation and imagination to the brand, maintaining the highest level of standards.
Today, the company is helmed by Walid, and the sixth generation of Mouzannars, Claude, Dory, Rhea and Alia. They share a passion for the beautiful craft through high-end creations while placing their talents under the same signature, Aziz and Walid Mouzannar.
