Where Values Become Visible
What do you value?
This question lies at the heart of Lina Saleem Jewels, a deeply symbolic jewelry brand founded by industrial and jewelry designer Lina Saleem. With roots in Yemen, creative evolution in Berlin, and professional experience in the world of luxury, Lina has encountered radically different definitions of value — both material and immaterial.
A seemingly simple conversation with her parents once revealed how vastly personal and cultural values can differ — one rooted in pragmatic tradition, the other in artistic idealism. That contrast sparked a life-long exploration of values: how we define them, live them, and express them across cultures and generations.
Lina's jewelry isn’t just an adornment — it’s a wearable reminder of your inner truth. Her pieces serve as quiet companions to your personal growth, gently encouraging you to stay connected to what really matters. With a focus on the symbolism of the third eye — the gateway to inner perception, awareness, and consciousness — each piece invites you to turn inward, realign, and sparkle both inside and out.
Because beauty, like value, begins within.
Jewels with Meaning: The Six Core Values
At the heart of Lina Saleem Jewels lies a simple but profound invitation:
Live your values.
Each piece in the collection is more than just an object of beauty — it’s a symbolic companion, a gentle daily reminder of what truly matters to you. Inspired by universal wisdom and personal introspection, Lina has distilled six core values into six powerful symbols — each one rooted in nature, myth, and imagination.
These values aren't rules — they're reflections. They help us return to ourselves when the world pulls us away, guiding us back to clarity, connection, and inner peace.
Explore the six, and discover which one speaks to your soul:
far-sightedness
WIDE BIRD, fly!
Imagine you're a bird, flying and sailing in the vast wideness of the sky.
What are your visions?
What a great opportunity to observe your world from the birds eye's perspective. Think long term, about your love, your family, about friends & about fresh air we all want to breath now and in the future.
Let the wide bird remind you or your beloved one of your value 'far-sightedness'.
tolerance
SEA FOREST, root!
Imagine you're a mangrove tree, rooting inside the salty harsh sea water into the muddy ground with tickling fish and fertile sea fruits.
Above you the sunny blue sky.
Despite the turmoil of life or harsh conditions we live in,
there is always the sunny side to it.
Let the sea forest remind you or your beloved one to tolerate your surrounding, the differentness and in
the same time to value the fertile diversity.
inner peace
SILENT BLOSSOM, bloom!
Imagine you're a blossom, a lotus or a clover. When your petals open up to bloom, your inner peace unfolds. Take a look, do you recognise your peace symbol?
Day in, day out we do our best to be well-balanced. To find out what decisions feel good is sometimes a challenge. Take your time to reflect and find some silence to bloom.
Let the silent blossom remind you or your beloved one to open up the petals of your intuition, to find your inner peace.
