From the terra cotta roofs of the Italian countryside to the vibrant saris of India, Ladan Afshar is fascinated by the colors of the world around us, and she has long used this fascination to create jewelry of the utmost elegance for her friends and family. Six years ago, when approached by a woman insistent on purchasing the unique, hand-crafted necklace Ladan was at that very moment designing, she realized it was time to share her passion with the world; it was then that Ladan Afshar Fine Jewelry was officially founded.

Persian born but Los Angeles raised, Ladan finds herself inspired by her roots, her home, and the many continents in between. She travels as far as is required in order to locate those stones with the most exquisite coloring, the highest clarity, and the finest cut. Working directly with local artisans (several of whom provided her informal training), she creates one-of-a-kind designs that have earned her a following of clientele across the globe and rave reviews in some of the nation’s top magazines.

Ladan Afshar’s creations are targeted towards the well-traveled, confident woman looking for more than just an accessory, and each piece makes the wearer look and feel beautiful, flattering her every move. All material is imported from around the globe while finishing and assembly is done in Los Angeles. From every sale she makes, Ladan donates a portion of the proceeds to organizations assisting children in need in the countries of source.
