Iranian born and raised, Sheida Farrokhi discovered her artistic talent as a child, precociously creating sculptures and paintings. Her talents developed further when she tastefully designed and carefully tailored unique dresses during her teens.

There, she diligently studied jewelry design, wax carving and metal smithing at the Gemological Institute of America. Sheida then carved a new space for herself in Los Angeles where she continued her studies in gem identification, diamond grading and stone setting.
In 2012 Sheida leveraged her real world and academic knowledge to launch her custom line of sophisticated chic women’s jewelry where she continues to craft effortlessly beautiful designs.
