ARMAN - FINE GEMS OF INSPIRATION!!!!!
Arman Sarkisyan was destined to be a
jewelry designer. A native of Armenia, he practically grew up in his
father’s studio, where he started dabbling in goldsmithing at age 12.
Now based in Los Angeles, Sarkisyan designs ornate yellow gold and
oxidized silver pieces that draw from gothic and Byzantine-era motifs.
Sarkisyan prides himself on the old-school methods he learned from his
father; everything is handmade. Thus, he says, “I have an emotional
attachment to each and every piece that leaves my studio.”
