Testimonials

“
I saw a unique ring she had made on Instagram called Fortress. I had to have it. It's made exceptionally well and I like how different and modern it is. Her jewelry is unique and fresh. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing. I highly recommend purchasing jewelry from Vardui Kara. She's very knowledgeable in her field and I can't wait to get more pieces from her.

“
Well, let's start here. I asked and she delivered and I can't get enough of its beauty! So, I had a ring with a large center stone and wanted a new one but use the same center diamond. I wanted something different and unique. Not really engagement ring style. I had some ideas in mind and decided to meet with Vardui to brainstorm and have her create something unique. Her ideas, concept and style is what made me want her to make this piece for me. She puts the extra effort for her clients as if the piece would be for her. Perfectionist and I appreciate it. I picked up my ring just last week and it is just impeccable. I cannot take my eyes off of it. Completely different from my previous ring. Eye catchy! Craftsmanship on another level. Thank you and I cannot wait for you to create more pieces for me.

Vardui & I worked for over 3 month on the design & execution of this beautiful custom ring. She is incredibly creative & showed great enthusiasm towards what ended up being a very complex project. I cannot recommend her enough & will personally be working with her again in the future.
