Noor Al-Qamar is a jewellery-making workshop by young women from the Bedouin community of Anata. It was established in 2011 under the umbrella of Bedouin Silver Tent Association and the Italian NGO Vento di Terra. Noor Al-Qamar provides an income-generation opportunity for the women of Anata who have very limited access to work, while helping them learn and develop new skills.
The women make original earrings, necklaces, bracelets, wall hangings, and Christmas ornaments using the metalsmith techniques and beading from brass, semi-precious stones, wood, and hand-spun natural sheep wool. Noor Al-Qamar’s latest collections have been produced in cooperation with Palestinian designers Amir Salameh, Shireen Salman, Maro Sandrouni and the fair-trade organization Sunbula, who also markets them.
