Made in the USA and based in New York, VAHAN was founded by French designer Leon “Sacha” Der Calousdian in 1968.
After studying at the prestigious jewelry design school La Chambre Syndicale de la Bijouterie in Paris, Sacha designed jewelry for brands such as Hermès, Cartier, and David Webb before starting his own company, Alwand Vahan.
In 2009, Sacha’s son Greg joined the company as VP of Design, bringing his own artistic sensibilities that have helped develop the core VAHAN styles.
Today VAHAN is most frequently recognized for its uniquely textured bracelets, which are the brand’s most widely demanded look. Part of VAHAN’s appeal is the aesthetic of the 14k gold, sterling silver, diamonds, and semi-precious stone combinations.
Their styles have a wide array, from dramatic statement pieces to jewelry that can be worn daily and everywhere, each with class and comfort.
