With the opening of his first Paris mono-brand boutique, Sahag Arslanian marks a defining moment in the evolution of his Maison. Situated in the heart of the French capital’s artistic district, the new space becomes both a physical and symbolic milestone — a place where contemporary high jewellery, architectural purity, and the rare beauty of coloured diamonds converge.

The Paris opening coincides with the debut of Aura in Motion, a collection that distils Arslanian’s creative language into its most refined and versatile expression. Together, boutique and collection articulate a singular vision of modern high jewellery: sculptural yet wearable, technically exacting yet emotionally resonant.

A Parisian Atelier Dedicated to Light

Conceived as an intimate atelier-showroom rather than a traditional retail space, the Paris boutique reflects the Maison’s commitment to essential elegance and material dialogue. Clean architectural lines, balanced volumes, and carefully orchestrated lighting create an environment designed to guide the visitor discreetly, allowing the jewellery itself to command attention.

Here, each creation is presented as a sculpture of light. Gold, diamonds, and coloured stones interact with space and shadow, revealing the core philosophy that defines Sahag Arslanian’s work: nothing is superfluous, every element serves form, proportion, and brilliance. The boutique becomes a bridge between art, craftsmanship, and emotion — a place to admire jewellery and to experience it.

The opening follows a particularly significant moment for the designer, who was recently awarded Best New Talent at the Grand Prix de Haute Joaillerie in Monte Carlo, a recognition that underscores his innovative approach and contemporary reinterpretation of high jewellery traditions.

Aura in Motion: Sculpting Movement and Versatility

Launched in parallel with the boutique, Aura in Motion expands upon the Maison’s established iconography while introducing a new dimension of adaptability. At the heart of the collection lies a celebration of coloured diamonds — the defining signature of the Arslanian Group — selected according to the most rigorous gemological standards and set in 18k gold sculpted to enhance light and movement.

The collection revisits the geometries and bi-colour gold contrasts of earlier Aura in Motion creations, refining them into jewels that balance formal purity with expressive freedom. Bracelets and necklaces trace the body with architectural grace, rings explore chromatic emotion through rare pink, yellow, and orange-yellow diamonds, while earrings reinterpret classic forms with a contemporary edge.

A distinctive element of the collection is its concealed interchangeable system, allowing select pieces to be personalised with GIA-certified coloured diamonds. This technical innovation transforms high jewellery into a living language — adaptable, expressive, and deeply individual — without compromising the Maison’s uncompromising standards of excellence.

“I wanted to further elevate the language of my collections, both technically and creatively,” explains Sahag Arslanian. “With Aura in Motion, the Maison remains firmly rooted in high jewellery, while opening toward greater versatility and accessibility.”

A Seventy-Year Legacy, Reimagined

The opening of the Paris boutique also serves as a reminder of the deep heritage behind the brand. With roots in Antwerp and over seventy years of history, the Arslanian name is a global reference in the world of rare coloured diamonds. From sourcing to polishing, the Arslanian Group oversees every stage of the supply chain through facilities in Angola and international partnerships spanning Antwerp, New York, and Armenia.

Educated in Law and Economics at SOAS, University of London, Sahag Arslanian joined the family business in 2013, bringing with him a contemporary, international outlook. Since becoming Managing Director in 2019, he has emerged as one of the industry’s most influential voices, holding leadership roles within major diamond institutions while redefining the aesthetic and cultural relevance of high jewellery.

A New Language of High Jewellery in Paris

With its Paris debut, Sahag Arslanian introduces a confident and emotionally charged vision of high jewellery — one that honours tradition while speaking directly to a new generation of collectors. The boutique and Aura in Motion collection together articulate a philosophy of jewellery designed not only to be admired, but to be worn, lived, and transformed.

In Paris, the Maison finds its natural stage: a city where light, art, and savoir-faire have always shaped the language of luxury — now reinterpreted through the singular lens of Sahag Arslanian.
