Silver Handicrafts Reflect Saudi Arabia’s Cultural Diversity and Artistic Heritage

Silver handicrafts continue to highlight the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s rich cultural diversity, reflecting elegance, luxury, and the unique artistic craftsmanship of Saudi artisans.
 The craft of silver jewelry holds deep historical significance, and the designation of 2025 as the Year of Handicrafts has renewed interest among young women and artisans, turning traditional silverwork into a modern fashion trend. This includes learning the skills to shape, refine, and transform silver into appealing consumer products such as anklets, bracelets, rings, and necklace sets.
 Silver crafting specialist Maher Al-Awlaki noted that silver continues to attract strong demand across the Kingdom, particularly from visitors seeking traditional pieces that reflect Saudi heritage.
 “Silver crafting is a prominent traditional craft practiced by both men and women, and it often overlaps with gold and copper work. However, silver remains the most widely used and visually appealing material in jewelry making,” he said.
