The spotlight falls on sparkling creatures prowling Maison Artinian as the jewellery boutique expresses responsibility for nature, the environment and wildlife in November.
Located in the prestigious Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok, Maison Artinian has a fresh look as showcases have been dressed in a verdant colour scheme under the Green Wilderness concept. Founder and CEO Arto Artinian is a supporter of wildlife conservation and has been involved in saving Thai elephants under the auspices of several charities.
His brother and co-founder Saro Artinian is chief operating officer as well as design and development director. The Armenian brothers have made Bangkok their home for over two decades while establishing a jewellery company in 1997, launching the Sartoro brand in 2001, followed by opening a creative studio and atelier in 2014, as some of its milestones.
Sartoro's latest high-jewellery collection pays tribute to fauna, namely the falcon, lion and snow leopard. Diamond, emerald, onyx and tanzanite adorn the animal-inspired pieces in white gold apart from the lion ring and necklace in yellow gold.
The fauna collection is a sequel to the rose gold flora jewellery released in spring 2017 while demonstrating how nature is a recurring source of inspiration for the brand. Giving back and protecting nature have been a personal commitment for the Artinian siblings, reflected in this month's Green Wilderness theme.
