help Boghossian FAQ

Is Boghossian a Geneva or Armenian jewelry house?

Boghossian is based in Geneva, but the founding family is of Armenian heritage. Its history began in the 19th century and developed through six generations of the Boghossian family.

What is Boghossian's Kissing setting?

The Kissing technique places two gemstones in direct contact so that one appears to rest against the other with minimal visible metal. It is one of several unconventional settings associated with the house.

How does Boghossian's Inlay technique work?

Inlay sets one gemstone into a precisely cut cavity in another gemstone. The technique requires careful matching because both the host stone and inserted stone can be damaged during cutting or assembly.

Why does Boghossian use titanium in high jewelry?

Titanium is light, strong, and can be colored, allowing large jewel structures without the weight of comparable gold constructions. Boghossian uses it to support colored stones while keeping portions of the setting visually discreet.
