Boasting over 150 years of creativity and gemological expertise, the Boghossian story begins in 1868 on the Silk Route, a crossroads where merchants and artisans converged. Over the generations, the Boghossian family traveled from East to West, handing down an innate eye for exceptional gemstones and a flair for craftsmanship along with a wealth of artistic and cultural inspirations. Now based in Geneva and helmed by the fifth and sixth generations, Boghossian has evolved into one of the world’s master jewelers, whose one-of-a-kind pieces regularly achieve world-record sales at auction.



Featuring eloquent text by respected jewelry historian Vivienne Becker, this richly illustrated volume expresses the Boghossian family’s legacy of adventure and expertise, of cross-cultural influences and innovations, unfolding like a silk thread connecting East and West.

Ellie C. ★★★★★

The chapter on the Silk Route origins in 1868 pulled me in immediately, and the photos of the gem work are gorgeous. I didn't expect a book about a jewelry house to read this smoothly, but the writing keeps the 150 years moving.

Ruby V. ★★★★★

The chapters tracing the family's move along the Silk Route in 1868 genuinely surprised me — I didn't expect the history to read this smoothly. The gemological detail is rich without ever feeling like a textbook.

Alexander H. ★★★★★

I picked this up expecting a coffee-table book and got drawn into a real story instead. The way it traces the family trade back to 1868 on the Silk Route, and explains the gemology through generations, makes the history feel tangible rather than just listed dates.
