Our story

As a third-generation jeweler raised in Lebanon, I learned early that every gemstone has a history, and every piece of jewelry tells a story. My passion for gemstones and ancient history led me to earn a master's degree in Art and Archaeology, deepening my understanding of the cultural and artistic roots of jewelry making. To further refine my expertise and bring that knowledge into the world of fine jewelry, I studied at the Gemological Institute of America, earning the title of GIA Graduate Gemologist.

For over 25 years, I've been immersed in the world of fine jewelry, first taking over my family’s business and then building on that foundation to shape my own vision.

Despite working with beautiful, well-crafted pieces, I always felt something was missing, a piece that truly spoke to me. I wanted jewelry that reflected my own story and the soul of the artist behind it. I sought pieces that were unique, that embraced imperfection and told a deeper story. That’s when I realized: handmade jewelry was the only way to capture that essence. It was at that moment that I opened my own workshop, combining my archaeological knowledge of ancient jewelry techniques with my philosophy of embracing the "perfectly imperfect."

Now, in San Diego, I bring my story, my vision, and my craftsmanship to a community that shares my appreciation for individuality, sustainability, and timeless beauty. Each piece I create is not just a jewel, it’s a testament to the journey that began in a small Beirut workshop and continues to thrive with heart and soul.
