Today we’d like to introduce you to Angela Karaguezian Kassabian.
Like her father, Angela grew up immersed in the jewelry world, learning and loving every aspect of her family’s storied heritage. She graduated with an MBA in Entrepreneurship from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and is currently at the helm of the business along with her sister, Grace. Angela’s love of fashion has a profound influence on her jewelry designs, which are chic, playful, and modern at the same time. She is committed to preserving the family’s legacy of superb quality and exquisite design while embracing innovation to reenergize the brand each year. She credits her father, Kirk, with teaching her the crucial skills necessary to maintain the company’s success, and leads with a strong feminine vision. She has been married to her husband, Raffi, since 2016.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Kirk Kara story. Tell us more about the business.
The fabled story of Kirk Kara spans multiple continents and more than a century. Since 1890, our astonishingly talented family of artists and artisans has designed and handcrafted beautiful rings and fine jewelry.
Kirk Kara pieces are all original designs inspired by the past and re-imagined for the present. Each detail is drawn from romantic patterns found in nature, architecture, and art. They’re brought to life in the finest platinum, gold, gemstones and of course, diamonds. No wonder falling in love with a piece of Kirk Kara jewelry becomes a life long passion.
This rare talent for creating legendary pieces of jewelry has been passed down between four generations from fathers to sons. And now, for the first time in the company’s history – to two daughters. We are committed to continuing the brand’s gracious, generous spirit and relentless pursuit of perfection. No wonder every Kirk Kara piece is forever captivating.
Kirk Kara has won the most prestigious award in the bridal category, the Jeweler’s Choice Award, ten years in a row.
