All Ara Vartanian jewelry is handmade, in the brand’s own atelier in São Paulo. In total, around 30 professionals, including goldsmiths, setters, and polishers, have the expertise necessary to produce pieces that involve very specific techniques. It is the know-how of the internal team that enables unique jewelry to be created for the global market. “Being close to this department to follow the full creative cycle has always been extremely important to me. The workshop is part of my daily life; it’s what I like to do. Even the drawings of the pieces are done by hand here,” highlights Ara.
