Artinian Family Boutique

• Benchworx | Atlelier Director

  • Dec 1987 - Jun 1996

  This was my 'grand" entrance to the Artinian family jewelry business as a teenager, under the watchful eye, guidance and teachings of my father' Souren Artinian. Over time, my devotion and passion for jewelry design and workmanship endured, hence, step by step, experience by experience I moved through the “ranks” of our Artinian Atelier culture and hierarchy, drawing the permissions of our Master Craftsmen, and increasingly earned the knowledge, the dexterity and the innate feel of the jewelry making artistry, again, I say within its traditional sense. In essence, am an innovative traditionalist. Does that make sense?
