Darius Khonsary’s unique, futuristic approach to ancient-inspired designs is attracting big-name stores.
Before even learning about Khonsary’s gender identity, her designs stand out. Their liberal use of high-karat gold, antique old-mine cut gemstones and hand-carved shapes are unlike most other brands available on the market.
“There is no way to separate myself and identity from this work,” Khonsary said of her designs, which are inspired by her ancient Persian ancestors, along with the queer communities of today and millennias past.Courtesy/Darius Jewels Lauren Painter, Bergdorf’s buyer for designer jewelry, said of Khonsary’s designs: “When I was first introduced to Darius’ work I was instantly enamored. The craftsmanship of her chains, the weighty gold, and the carefully selected antique diamonds all speak logically to a jewelry collector, but there’s also something about each piece that feels so romantic and so special.
