Alwand Vahan, also known as Sacha, studied at Paris' jewelry and design school La Chambre Syndicale de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie et Orfevrerie ... the same school where his grandfather was awarded medals for his designs eighty two years earlier. Alwand Vahan was one of the first jewelry designers represented exclusively by Bergdorf Goodman before he began designing for Cartier, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Mayor's and others.

Today, Sacha's collections are found in the finest jewelry stores throughout the country, and his creations are often featured in Town and Country, Luster, In Style and other publications.
