A few weeks ago I was contacted by Gabby at blink PR. Gabby told me about a young women by the name of Ariane Arazi and her journey into the world of fashion. Gabby's story made me admire all the qualities Ariane had as a budding entrepreneur without even having to meet her. Her passion for jewelry and how she managed to transform that into a career for herself is an inspiration for all young women in search of a medium to express their creativity. Read about Ariane's journey below and hopefully it will inspire others like herself to follow through with what they are passionate about and be successful in their ventures as well. Best of luck Ariane!
As a young girl born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Ariane would often visit her family in Milan. Her late grandfather, Issac Hasbani, founded his own jewelry collection and like Ariane, handcrafted everyunique piece. When in Milan, her grandfather would take her to his office and show her all the pieces in his jewelry collection. Ariane remembers being amazed at the beauty and craftsmanship of his pieces and dreamt of being able to create her own jewelry collection one day. Years later, after receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree at Concordia University, she decided to study the field of jewelry design and enrolled in the Gemological Institute of America. Receiving her diploma in 2007, she decided to gain more experience and began working for her uncles at various jewelry trade shows in the United States. Finally, in 2008, Ariane began designing her own line of costume jewelry and created a luxurious yet affordable collection for a younger, hipper crowd.
Ariane Arazi Jewelry is inspired by the latest trends and colors,
th
is fun and elaborate jewelry uses Swarovski crystals, precious
metals, pearls, semi-precious stones and of course, bold colors.
Each piece is handcrafted by Ariane and a new collection is created
each season looking elegant, yet trendy. The sophistication of each
piece and the intricate, edgy designs are a direct reflection of Ariane's
personality and style.
