From the Founder

“To me, the trust expression of Qabi is feeling empowered to invest in yourself and the community around you.

Coming from three generations in the industry, I’m deeply connected to the world of fine jewelry. When I decided to enter the space myself, I knew I wanted to do things differently. At QABI, we’re shifting the focus from traditional archetypes of gifting to buying jewelry for your damn self.”

Mohammad Qasim, CEO

OUR COMMITMENTS

We aim to create deep, long-standing relationships with our communities and have a measurable impact over time. In 2020, we established an Empowerment Fund to support women and non-binary people's access to skills through traditional or non-traditional education. In 2022, we launched “A Year of Action”—a committee of like-minded brands created in partnership with Don't Ban Equality— to use our voice and reach to help protect access to reproductive healthcare and advocate for equal rights.

  • STERLING SILVER

    We use 925 sterling silver, the industry standard in the United States and most world markets. Made of 92.5% pure silver, it’s a highly durable material ideal for daily, long-term wear. In 2022, we worked with our suppliers to produce 92% of our silver jewelry from recycled sources. This recycled percentage highlights our continued efforts to reduce our impact on the environment and increase traceability of precious materials across our supply chain.

  • 18K GOLD VERMEIL

    Not to be confused with regular gold plating, gold vermeil is a thick, long-lasting layer of 18k solid gold over high-quality sterling silver. We use 18k gold that is 2.5 microns thick, as required by the Federal Trade Commission to classify vermeil, layered over 925 sterling silver.

  • GEMSTONES

    We at QABI fine jewellery use highest quality of CZ stones, GRA certified Moissanites Gemstone AAA+ graded pearls and plated with 18k Gold/ 18k Rose Gold/ Rhodium/ Platinum.
