My story is rooted in my father’s journey, an immigrant who poured his effort into the diamond setting trade before ever earning a wage. With my mother by his side, he transformed that skill into a jewelry store built on dedication and vision. I was always so proud that they were jewellers, and of the shop they created, a place that became home to life’s happiest celebrations. It was there I first discovered that jewelry carries more than value; it holds memory, meaning, and legacy. As a teenager, I stepped into the business myself, absorbing the artistry of the trade from the ground up.
Though I went on to study finance, I felt a constant pull back to beauty and creativity. AREK became the space where the technical knowledge passed down by my parents could meet my instinct for design and the spirit of my grandmother, Arek, who inspired me endlessly. AREK is more than a brand; it is an extension of myself, my heritage, and the people who shaped me.
