PULSAR

In astronomy, pulsars are neutron stars with strong magnetic fields, considered to be the beacons of the galaxies. In Ara Vartanian’s universe, this idea was translated into star-shaped earrings, rings, and pendants for the Pulsar collection. Diamonds, rubellites, rubies, and opals are the main protagonists of the pieces, which give the impression of being in constant motion.

  • TWO AND THREE-FINGER RINGS

    “The initial intention was not to make a two-finger piece: the idea was to create a ring that would carry a stone with over 15 carats and not flip. The structure was a consequence of this search: the stone was set with its deepest part between the two fingers and a lower center of gravity. Because of this, the stone does not flip, and the ring became more comfortable. Many of the innovations we make are geared towards comfort.” – Ara Vartanian

  • HOOK EARRINGS

    Another icon of Ara’s work, the Hook earrings have an anatomical design that wraps around the earlobe and helps distribute the weight of the piece better. With a perfect fit, the model gained versions with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and blue sapphires. “The objective was not beauty, but to create a structure for heavier earrings. I believe that jewelry must be comfortable – if it is not comfortable, the work has not been done well enough.” – Ara Vartanian
