About
Who is Ani Khachian?
Ani is a natural-born craftswoman and 4th generation artisan-jeweler that places original concepts, meaningful designs and intricate details at the heart of everything she does. Every single piece is handcrafted in her humble workshop and made from recycled and conflict-free materials, as she strongly encourages traceable sourcing and environmental responsibility for a greener planet.
Vividly designed to reverberate life events, experiences and memory, her customizable & handmade jewelry can range from dainty minimalist pieces to wearable works of art that feature complex shapes and detail-focused patterns.
You can trust the expertise of an AJP graduate with Diamond & Pearl designations at the GIA [Gemological Institute of America]. Apart from being the current Secretary of the AJA [Armenian Jewelers Association] in NYC, she also offers diamond concierge services to guide clients with diamond sourcing requirements to find that perfect stone. She holds profound expertise in the selection process for gems, making sure supreme quality stands as a priority.
Ani Fine Jewelry offers a complete streamlined customization service resulting in more solidly-built pieces that can better withstand the test of time than most average mass-produced commercial jewelry — with a faster turnaround and a much more budget-friendly choice for your wallet.
Her colorful, creative thinking, original artistry promise, and purposeful relationships built with customers are the reasons why she’s absolutely passionate about what she does best.
“When I begin designing, my creativity flows from pure inner intuition and feelings. My sensitivity to making tangible artworks is deep-rooted in my craft, and I create pieces that can be embodied as a personal legacy and enjoyed in the present moment. Because for me, every design is unquestionably unique, intending to be worn as a talisman of strength to uplift your self-confidence and divine spirituality.”
A Family Legacy
Did you know that Ani’s father, the late great Garo Tutunjian was known as “the jeweler’s jeweler” back in the ’70s? An iconic figure in Southern California, whose personal clientele included Elvis Prestley, Frank Sinatra, and Bob Hope. Nevertheless, Ani’s mother played a vital role in her upbringing, being both the mentor and teacher that gave her much-needed business acumen to run her operations successfully. With her genes generously filled with raw talent and hands-on artisanship, Ani Khachian is determined to carry on the tradition.
