HH. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Award for Women — AlexPetzer

The HH. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Award for Women is a medal that is awarded in recognition of female global innovative pioneers. This award was presented to for the first time to Queen Rania of Jordan, and The Honorable Christine Lagarde.

Arguably the most interesting project I have ever worked on - I got a last minute call to design this prestigious medal. I looked to design a piece that had a softer, more elegant line that is bold and modern. The outer frame is white gold, whilst the body of the medal is gold with a ruby crusted ring that houses the national crest. I had two hours to develop, present, and tweak the design before sitting down with the jeweller to hand it over for crafting.
