About

Since 2015, Mejuri has done fine jewellery differently, making it for more than special occasions. While quality, craftsmanship and design are at the brand’s core, their ethos goes deeper: to empower self-expression and elevate the everyday. Mejuri was created by Noura Sakkijha, a third-generation jeweller, to inspire women to celebrate their lives on their terms – making any reason the perfect occasion to ‘buy the damn diamond.’ Mejuri prides itself on creating moments of joy within everyday life through beautiful jewellery that provide style and inspiration to their customers.

In addition to empowering individual choice, Mejuri is committed to sustainability. The brand sources materials responsibly, aiming for 100% traceability in its gold by the end of the year, and utilizes recycled materials wherever possible. This dedication not only addresses environmental concerns but also aligns with the values of a growing demographic that prioritizes ethical consumption. Through initiatives like their Empowerment Fund, Mejuri actively supports women and non-binary individuals in accessing education and skills, further solidifying its role as a leader in both fashion and social responsibility.

The scholarship will be assessed on the basis of financial need and academic merit. It will provide a contribution towards course costs and living expenses for the final year of the course.
