December in Dubai offered the perfect setting for The Unique Club’s Festive Edition, a three-day sequence of intimate jewellery showcases dedicated to craftsmanship, design, and storytelling. Over three consecutive evenings, Costis, Miseno, and Mahesh Notandass presented their latest collections, each revealing a distinct aesthetic language shaped by heritage, experimentation, and an uncompromising approach to materials.
Rather than traditional presentations, the events unfolded as moments of exchange: designers shared the ideas behind their work, guests engaged closely with the pieces, and jewellery was experienced in its most essential form: through form, movement, light, and rare gemstones. It was an opportunity to encounter one-of-a-kind creations up close, and to understand the vision and expertise that define each house.
Costis | December 12
The first evening spotlighted Costis, whose creations are celebrated for their architectural rigor and deeply organic sensibility. Guests were introduced to the Snail Shell collection, a body of work inspired by the natural elegance and protective geometry of a snail’s shell. By removing the shell’s inner structure, Costis reimagines its form into rings and bracelets designed to sit on the body with instinctive ease.
Each piece reflected the designer’s meticulous approach to engineering and comfort, transforming complex structures into jewellery that feels intuitive and wearable.
“Presenting Costis House of Jewelry in Dubai was a meaningful opportunity to introduce the collection to a new audience,” Konstantinos Chamamtzis, Founder of the brand and professionally known as Costis, shared.” “This event marked an important step in the brand’s international journey and offered the perfect setting to express the essence of my creative vision.”

Miseno | December 13
On the following evening, the focus shifted to the sunlit world of Miseno. The brand unveiled Arco, a collection created to celebrate its 10-year anniversary and inspired by Arco Felice, the ancient Roman passageway that stands as a symbolic bridge between past and future and serves as the maison’s emblem.
Blending architectural lines with fluid silhouettes, the collection translates Southern Italy’s light, history, and Mediterranean spirit into gold and gemstones. Each piece felt both contemporary and deeply rooted in place.
Reflecting on the evening, the Miseno team shared their appreciation for the intimate atmosphere and the connection created with guests:
“It was an honor to take part in such a special evening, one that will remain in the hearts of everyone who experienced it. The refined setting conveyed elegance throughout the night, allowing us to tell the story behind each collection in a truly evocative context. Surrounded by Italian music and extraordinary people, it was an experience that deeply touched us. The genuine interest and warmth we received reaffirm that we are exactly where we should be. We strongly believe that our jewelry, crafted in Italy by skilled hands and driven by a timeless love for the art of goldsmithing, added a sense of magic and refinement to the evening.”

Mahesh Notandass | December 14
The festive edition concluded with the presentation of Mahesh Notandass, a name synonymous with Indian high jewellery for nearly five decades. Under the creative direction of Vandana Jagwani, the maison continues to reinterpret tradition through innovation, balancing heritage craftsmanship with a progressive, global outlook.
The jewels presented revealed a confident dialogue between past and present: bold compositions, unexpected stones, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
“It was a fabulous, intimate event with the perfect atmosphere”, Vandana Jagwani shared. “The people, the energy, and the opportunity to truly connect with clients made the experience special. Everything was beautifully planned, and showcasing our jewelry in such a setting was genuinely a pleasure.”
A deeper exploration of the maison’s evolution and future vision is available in the full interview at this link.
The three showcases traced a rich and varied journey through contemporary high jewellery: from Costis’ sculptural precision inspired by nature, to Miseno’s Mediterranean narrative rooted in Italian architecture, and Mahesh Notandass’ evolving dialogue between Indian tradition and modern expression. What united these evenings was a shared dedication to exceptional craftsmanship, intricate design, and the use of rare, carefully selected gemstones.
The Festive Edition of The Unique Club reaffirmed its role as a space for discovery and dialogue, where international jewellery houses present one-of-a-kind creations to an audience seeking depth, authenticity, and refined design. A place where jewellery is not simply worn, but understood.
