Featured VentureMom: Ani Khachian — Legacy, Craft, and the Art of Meaningful Jewelry
Some women are born with a gift in their hands. For Ani Khachian, that gift is generations deep. A fourth-generation artisan jeweler, Ani grew up surrounded by creativity, craftsmanship, and the quiet magic of turning raw materials into emotional heirlooms. Today, she channels that heritage into Ani Fine Jewelry, a brand built on originality, conscious creation, and deeply personal design.
Every piece Ani makes begins at her bench—hand-crafted, detail-driven, and made from recycled and conflict-free materials. Sustainability and traceability aren’t buzzwords for her; they’re non-negotiables. She believes jewelry should honor both the person who wears it and the planet we share.
Ani’s designs are vivid reflections of life’s moments—celebrations, memories, milestones, and the stories we hold closest. From minimalist everyday pieces to intricate wearable works of art, her creations radiate craft and meaning. Her fully customized process gives clients something rare in today’s world: beautifully engineered pieces that are more solid, more unique, and often more affordable than mass-produced alternatives.
Her creative approach comes from within.
Her lineage reads like a Hollywood legend. Ani’s father, Garo Tutunjian, known as the jeweler’s jeweler in the 1970s, designed for icons like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bob Hope. Her mother, equally influential, gave Ani the business acumen and confidence to run her own operation with purpose and heart.
Now an AJP graduate from GIA, current Secretary of the Armenian Jewelers Association in NYC, and a trusted diamond concierge, Ani blends expertise with artistry. Whether it’s a bespoke bridal ring or her signature statement pendants, Ani helps women express their individuality through pieces that tell a story—beautifully, boldly, and forever.
