DARIUS is a collection of fine jewelry, approaching jewelry as totemic vessel; objects of power and protection that serve as a focal point for communication with the universe. Each unique piece is hand crafted in Los Angeles by the brand’s in-house Master Goldsmith, featuring the finest colored gemstones & strictly antique and reclaimed diamonds. Fabrication techniques are akin to that of the ancient world, rendering each piece truly one of a kind.

“Our collection is made with the highest form of respect for the wisdom of the ancient world. It is an attempt at deciphering the messages that the ancients left us, activating these energies and bringing them into the present, allowing for the birth of new worlds. To wear jewelry is to facilitate in the creation of magic.”

- Founders, Darya Khonsary & Arielle Chiara

 

 

MATERIALS & PRODUCT CARE

OUR MATERIALS

DARIUS pieces are crafted entirely by hand from Fairmined gold by our in-house master goldsmith using old world fabrication techniques. Our signature 24k satin finish is inspired by the classic Iranian technique which imparts an ancient feel, while the 18k solid core certifies the durability of the jewelry — our jewels are meant to be heirlooms, passed down through generations.

FAIRMINED GOLD

DARIUS has committed to exclusive use of Fairmined Certified Gold as part of the brand’s evolving effort towards low impact production. Fairmined is an assurance label that certifies gold from empowered responsible artisanal and small-scale mining organizations who meet world leading standards for responsible practices. The Fairmined initiative guarantees mine to market origin and traceability, promoting environmentally conscious mining practices, and supporting the development of local mining communities to promote sustainable gold production. 

“Fairmined is an assurance label that certifies gold from empowered responsible artisanal and small-scale mining organizations who meet world leading standards for responsible practices. This certification guarantees that the gold has been extracted in harmony with nature, human dignity and sustainable development, contributing to the transformation of lives in these mining communities.” 

- Fairmined & The Alliance for Responsible Mining 

DARIUS is proud to make the Fairmined commitment. 

FINE GEMS

We pride ourselves on sourcing the most unique sapphires and rubies, the highest quality Colombian emeralds, and the finest antique and reclaimed diamonds on the market. By using antique and reclaimed stones, we are able to avoid additional extraction from and stress on our environment.

CARE

Our jewels are designed for everyday wear. Your skin's natural oils and any cosmetics, such as perfumes and soaps, will naturally polish your piece over time, creating a lustrous patina.

We recommend cleaning your piece with warm water and dish soap, using an old toothbrush to scrub the stones. We recommend refraining from excessive immersion in chlorinated water and highly recommend avoiding commercial cleaning solutions or ultrasonic cleaning.
