Crafting Excellence Since 1968
We are a family-owned business that started in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1968; since then, we have been in Perth, Australia and now, Sydney, Australia. We have always strived to give our customers the best possible quality at the most reasonable prices and have been doing so continuously since the first store was opened by Arto Agopyan at the age of 20. Arto learnt his trade from the traditional Armenian goldsmiths in Istanbul, Turkey, as a young boy and then emigrated from Sweden as a young man. Keen to create his own business, he started "Arto's Jewellery" in Sweden and his pieces are still found at auction in Sweden today, with his hallmark stamped on them. Today, the business has been renamed, but the lineage remains the same.
The Heart of Our Legacy
Today, the business is operated by Arto’s son, Masis Agopyan, Australia’s youngest-ever gemologist, diamond technologist, diamond grader & jewellery valuer. A jewellery designer, manufacturing jeweller and veteran of the trade, having worked in multiple boutiques & businesses in the jewellery & watches trade from wholesale through retail to auction.
