Hiyool — 21K Gold Bangles

Hiyool are among the most enduring gold pieces in the Gulf: a solid, round bangle worn alone or in pairs. They never go out of fashion because they were never a fashion — a fixed form handed down through generations.

What sets one pair of hiyool apart from another is not the shape but the execution: a perfect round that does not flatten with wear, a surface that carries light in one unbroken line, and a clean solder at the closure — the first place a piece shows its age.
