The jewelry label Ouverture was born out of frustration and the search for high-quality, ethical jewelry in early 2020. In Berlin, the trained investment manager and business consultant Kris Ter-Ghazaryan found the ideal place to realize her creative vision: to establish an exquisite premium jewelry brand in Europe. The handmade collections bear the signature of Kris’ Armenian heritage in their traditional patterns, geometric shapes, and symbols. The current fall collection, “The Floating Diamond,” however, is a declaration of love to Berlin—giving a new spin-off to classic diamond jewelry. The diamonds seem to float, and each design tells a unique story about the creative energy of the city. Ouverture’s ethics and quality are not empty promises but characterize every aspect of production. The individual pieces and designs are created in small batches from recycled 14K gold and ethically and locally sourced diamonds and gemstones, most of which are only made to order to avoid overproduction and minimize unnecessary use of resources. This means that no so-called “mine gold” is used. In combination with Kris Ter-Ghazaryan’s memories of inherited pieces of jewelry, Ouverture is her very personal and, above all, elegant answer to the search for authenticity, individuality, and sustainability. Whether earrings, bracelets, rings, or necklaces, all pieces set a contemporary accent that skillfully creates a link between the current and the enduring.
