History

Established in 1989.

Garo Chividjian was born and raised in Varna, Bulgaria. In his teens, Garo took an apprenticeship with the finest jeweler in Varna. Learning every aspect of creating fine jewelry from design to the final product, jewelry quickly became Garo’s passion. Coming to the United States in 1980, Garo worked for local jewelry stores in the Los Angeles area until he finally made his vision come to life by starting Varna in 1989. Since its inception, Varna has revolutionized the jewelry business. Varna’s first collection was a platinum and diamonds hand-​engraved engagement ring line, with 18k yellow gold filigree accents. This now-​famous collection put Varna on the map of the jewelry world.

Varna’s designs and collections have grown extensively over the years. Our main focus has always been to perfectly design and flawlessly execute each piece of jewelry we create. We approach each piece we create on a personal level where it is exclusively created around a center diamond.
