The Prologue showroom in Dubai. Objets d'art in sterling silver and bronze on travertine and oak plinths, with the jewellery in the vitrines behind. Most of what the house makes is private commission, and the showroom is where clients see finished work before it leaves for its final home.
Finishing a sterling silver horse in the Prologue atelier in Bangkok. Every piece is sculpted, cast, chased and finished by the house's own goldsmiths and silversmiths, and each component is brought to its final surface before assembly, which is why the work holds its relief under close inspection.
The Prologue stand at Jewellery Arabia 2025, Bahrain. The house has exhibited at Baselworld, Couture, The Palm Beach Show, the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition and Jewellery Arabia, showing jewellery in 18kt gold alongside sculptural objets d'art in sterling silver and bronze.
A falcon in sterling silver on the Prologue stand at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition 2025. Falconry subjects recur in the house's commissioned work for the Gulf, each bird sculpted in wax by hand before casting and chasing in the atelier.

Objets d'art from the Prologue atelier: sculptural pieces in sterling silver and bronze with hardstone, enamel and gold detail. The house works in the tradition of the goldsmith's objet, made to the precision and tolerances of fine jewellery.
Sculpting the wax for a serpent in the Prologue atelier. Each scale is cut by hand before the model is cast in sterling silver, chased and patinated. The wax stage is where the character of every Prologue sculpture is decided.
A Prologue cocktail ring, a yellow sapphire set in blue sapphire pave with diamonds, made in 18kt gold in the house atelier. Prologue jewellery is designed and made in-house, from the first drawing to the final polish.
