(PRESS RELEASE) The 2021 winner of the JCK Jeweler’s Choice Awards is a necklace that many find they simply can’t draw their eyes away from. The shimmering gold Sun, Moon & Stars necklace, a creation of California-based jewelry boutique ARY D’PO, is an absolute showstopper.
The piece is inspired by a lunar eclipse, and is surrounded by an elegant, ethereal air. It features dainty elements, such as a ring, star and arrow, crossing together in a gorgeous lariat necklace. The award-winning necklace is crafted from 18 karat yellow gold, plated over sterling silver, but is also available in silver. You can just imagine this unique necklace on any elegant woman, with a plunging neckline gown, at a gorgeous evening event.
Eclipses have been the subject of ancient myths and storytelling for millennia, and ARY D’PO embraces these deep cultural narratives. The necklace tells a story, exploring how the sun gives light, the moon keeps rhythm, the North Star shows the way, and a falling star is steeped in magical energy.
ARY D’PO is proud to be a woman-owned business, and is fronted by Yeva Poghosyan. When speaking about the inspiration that drove the creation of this piece, she explains that, “Stars are like our dreams…bright and beautiful. Some are far, some are close, but all are there waiting for a chance to shine.”
It’s clear that imagery that comes from the natural world is very important to Yeva and her team. ARY D’PO also draws much inspiration from elements including Gingko trees, four leaf clovers, and even the magic of dreams. Just like stars, each of these inspiring elements have long been linked with cultural significance and meaning.
With their work, ARY D’PO follow an ancient line of jewelers turning important symbols into tiny talismans that wearers can enjoy keeping close to them at all times. To make sure that their pieces are built to last, they’re also big believers in using high quality metals like gold and rhodium for all their pieces. In this way, they can truly represent these meaningful symbols in a way that does them justice.
