Ara, Designer/CEO, was born in Liberia, Africa, where the beauty of the world struck him at an early age. Upon arrival in the United States in 1985, Ara turned to his artistic renderings and sought an outlet for his creative vision. Working from his loft in Soho, Ara began exhibiting his jewelry designs in 1992 at industry trade shows. Quickly finding enthusiastic buyers, Ara invested himself fully into building this business, eventually leading to the opening of his first NYC retail store on the edge of SOHO on Bleecker Street. Ara has now successfully opened the Versani Flagship Boutique in the heart of SOHO on Mercer Street, in addition to opening two more retail stores across the country - the elegant Mulberry Street location in Nolita, NYC, and our southern hot-spot location in Miami's South Beach. Moving forward is a constant goal of Versani Jewelry.

Visiting this Greenwich Village studio feels like stepping into a creative sanctuary, especially during winter's quieter months when the neighborhood takes on a contemplative energy. The jewelry here emerges from a philosophy that weaves together natural forms, spiritual intention, and architectural precision into pieces that flow with an almost liquid grace. Each creation balances raw organic inspiration with meticulous craftsmanship, resulting in wearable art that operates on its own visual language. The designer's approach has fundamentally shaped how contemporary jewelry functions as fine art rather than mere adornment.

Karen Karch’s inspirations are often derived from the idea of contradiction. Karen Karch’s raw refined designs illustrate her mastery of juxtaposition and her ability to find beauty in the unconventional. Her designs explore the duality of the natural world by embracing imperfections and playing upon opposites: glamorous & gritty; luxurious & spare; dark & luminous; structured & organic. <br> All Karen Karch designs are artfully engineered to accentuate its specific gemstone or metal – Karen Karch architects each piece’s setting to bring out the stone’s brilliance, which is also achieved by her unique combinations of gemstones and metals. Black diamonds are set in 18 karat rose gold to illuminate their brilliance. Colorless diamonds burn bright when set against platinum’s cool luster. And champagne and cognac diamonds truly glow when surrounded by 18 karat white gold.

Back in the late nineties, a jewelry vision took shape in Manhattan's SoHo district, where bold designs and refined elegance found their perfect home. The boutique quickly built a devoted following thanks to its mix of delicate pieces and eye-catching statement jewelry that felt fresh and alive. By 1999, Madison Avenue's luxury corridor welcomed a second location, and over the years, the brand expanded online to reach admirers across the country. Even on gray winter afternoons, when Manhattan's streets quiet down, you'll find the warm glow of their showcases drawing in browsers seeking something truly distinctive. What started as one bold idea has grown into a destination where colorful, dramatic pieces sit alongside understated feminine treasures, each one chosen with real care for those who appreciate the difference quality makes.
