Our Rich History & Heritage at Garen Jewellery

Garen Jewellery founder, Garen Dursun is a second-generation jeweller. Garen’s father, Sarkis Dursun first acquired his knowledge of craftsmanship and jewellery trading in 1974, at the age of just 13 years old. Sarkis showcased his work at The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, Turkey for over a decade. In 1990, Sarkis emigrated to Melbourne, Australia where he started manufacturing and distributing fine jewellery all around the country. In 1992, he then went on to open his first store. That same year, he also welcomed his son Garen into the world.

From a very young age, Garen was very interested in his father’s craft. Garen would sit with his father on the workers bench in awe, watching and learning as his father created exquisite jewellery. Garen created his first ever piece of jewellery at the young age of only 8 years old. A beautiful gold bangle, which he gifted to his grandmother. Garen was an eager young boy who yearned to learn his fathers craft and continue his legacy.

At 15 years old, Garen started working part time with his father, only to start his career in jewellery just two years later. His ambition grew and at 19 years old, Garen established Garen Jewellery. Garen Jewellery quickly gained a reputation for its quality and craftsmanship, becoming a highly respected brand with continued success.

Garen’s most cherished piece of advice that was given to him by his father was ‘Don’t just finish it, finish it beautifully.’ Which to this day Garen lives by. Garen’s passion for fine jewellery is showcased through pieces that speak for themselves, with the standard of quality being second to none. Garen Jewellery has set the benchmark for providing luxury fine jewellery of the highest calibre.

Garen not only produces extraordinary jewellery, but he also provides a one of a kind exceptional experience to all.
