Our Story

Sona was born and raised in Armenia, while Raffi was born and raised in the famous Armenian village of Anjar, Lebanon. Our paths may never have crossed had life not brought both of us to the United States. Brought together by fate and by friends, our relationship began, in many ways, as a long-distance one, with Raffi driving to San Diego on weekends after Sona had moved there from Los Angeles for work.

Although we came from very different upbringings, we found love in the values we shared: our love for Armenia and Armenians, our families, and our friends. Our shared connection to the world of gems and jewelry became another unexpected bond that brought us even closer together.

We are so excited to celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives with you in our favorite place in the world: Armenia.
