From Kuwait (but with Palestinian origins) to Canada, then to Cairo … The story of Dima Rashid and of her brand Dima Jewellery, is similar to that of many other women forced to travel the world due to geopolitical tensions. Dima Rashid, however, has chosen a path that has led her to success: her jewels have been worn by celebrities such as Queen Rania of Jordan, Naomi Campbell, Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Gigi Hadid, Vanessa Williams, Susan Sarandon , Eva Mendez.
