Our Story

Simon Yaghdjian launched Astranova Jewellery in 2010. Having already mastered the highest industry standards, Simon set out to bend and break conventional rules. As a result, the high jewellery designer subsequently carved a niche of his own.

What our clients say

Nicole Young

We are so happy we found Simon to make our wedding bands. I can't say enough about his craftsmanship, dedication and passion for his work. My bands matched my engagement ring perfectly and he also used some of our own sentimental gold mixed in. Simon is a pleasure to sit and talk to and I highly recommend his expertise. He matched the simplicity we wanted with elegance and sparkle. Thank you Simon!

SO COOL! My wife and I and Simon designed a fully custom 5 year anniversary ring that I could not be happier with. The experience was almost  the best part (the ring beats it out though!)... we went to his shop where he designs, creates and sells and Simon walked us through the process and even showed us the equipment that would be used. Simon was great at getting my wife's vision on to paper right in front of us and then shortly after he brought the ring to life and delivered us this beautiful piece my wife loves. Thanks Simon!

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first sat down with Simon, but he took his time to explain everything about the custom engagement ring design process, selecting diamonds and creating the finished product. I remember when I first saw the finished piece and in that moment I was so happy that I decided to go ahead with Simon. His work is top notch, his pricing is fair and he's great at explaining everything about the process. I highly recommend you go for this custom jewellery experience!

Working with Simon and Astranova was an amazing experience. He helped reset a diamond in an old ring of my wife’s and also helped with buying some diamond earrings for our anniversary. His attention to detail and skill is amazing and it is really nice to have a skilled Jeweler that I can trust. I look forward to continuing to work with Simon for years to come.

Simon is the quintessential craftsmen. His one-of-a-kind work is done with care, attention to detail and creativity. With extremely short notice he sourced, designed and finished the perfect wedding band and my wife and I couldn't be more thrilled! Anyone considering engagement, wedding or other jewellery should choose Astranova. You will not be disappointed!

Working with Simon was an absolute pleasure. Even without being able to do in-person consultations (we were based in the UK at the time) Simon made every effort to take us on the design journey and we ended up with an engagement ring which perfectly reflects what we wanted.

Simon's experience and attention to detail means that every piece is unique and of the highest quality. We will definitely be coming back for him to create our wedding bands as well. Thanks Simon!
