Daou design motifs were often abstract and nature inspired, all fully handmade in the in-house workshop of the Daou boutique and as such one-of-a-kind. Pieces always show balance and movement in their beautiful forms, and feature details such as combinations of textured gold, mixed gold colours and finishes, and artistic use of coloured precious and semi-precious stones as well as diamonds.
