Almqam
A men’s Islamic gemstone ring brand started in 2026 and built in-house — aqeeq, feroza, dur-najaf — with the photography and the retouching done here. One-of-a-kind pieces, so every stone is shot individually and sold once. The storefront is still in build; nothing is on sale yet.

01Shot and finished in-house
The catalogue comes from the studio’s own shoots — the stones on the hand that sells them, then cut out and finished into the hero images the storefront runs on. No stock jewellery, no borrowed supplier photography.
02Honest stones
Stones are labelled for what they are. Where a piece has not been positively identified it says so rather than borrowing a more valuable name — the same trust discipline the rest of the ledger runs on.
