While we started out as a modest watch repair business, we have grown into a premier jewelry and watch resource for our trusted Valley connoisseurs. Ara Karkazian purchased the eponymous store - where he had worked since his teenage years - from his brother George in 1990. He and his wife Lena expanded the showroom again and again not only to stay contemporary, but also to ensure a comfortable atmosphere.
Buying a diamond is a very personal experience. Diamonds can be bought to signify love, significant accomplishments, milestones in your life or that of a gift's recipient. Unlike when you buy clothing, electronics, or cars, the features of a diamond may not seem quite so obvious to you. We would like to change that.

I sincerely regret taking my business to Ara Karkazian Jewelry. Months after waiting, phone calls that were promised that were never placed, and jewelry that was only worked on after I placed a call to check on the status, came out so poor. I showed utmost patience and walked away unhappy. My necklace is asymmetric- a sure sign that it was rushed. Instead of voicing my unhappiness, I chose to pay and leave as I’m unwilling to be forgotten about for another three weeks. I’m very unimpressed with the customer service, false promises made by front counter staff, and their apparent inability to

There enough amazing things to say about Ara Karkazian!
My wife and I went in to look at some wedding bands but didn't find anything that matched what we were looking for. Luckily, Karkazian Jewelers specialize in making custom jewelry! We were able to get a mold made that matched our existing engagement band perfectly, to be intricately designed and created in store.
The level of service and attention to detail is above all else. I couldn't imagine going to any other jeweler to make our big day that much more amazing.
What a dream come true.
