Our Story

Talar and Manuk Torossian, both from Istanbul, Turkey, have built their family in the Atlanta area since 1999. Their oldest daughter, is a graduate from the University of Georgia in Fashion Merchandising and their youngest is in 7th grade. With their stores open 6 days a week, they certainly don’t have a lot of free time to waste.

As a Buckhead family, the Torossian's decided to open a new location for their jewelry store, Luxor Fine Jewelry, in the Chastain Square Shopping Plaza, Winter of 2020. Their original store was located in the AmericasMart in downtown Atlanta, where they stayed for over 20 years.

Manuk started his journey as a diamond setter learning skills in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. At age 17, he moved to New York City, became a master in jewelry, was certified as a GIA Gemologist and worked with many high-profile designers. In 1997, he flew home for Christmas to visit his family and a chance meeting with Talar sealed their fate. He instantly knew she was the one for him and extended his stay for a week to spend more time with her. Manuk returned to Instanbul three months later with a custom engagement ring he specially created for her and luckily, she said yes! After a whirlwind engagement and wedding with 11 priests, bishops and archbishops and a full choir at their Armenian Cathedral, the two were wed and settled in New York as a couple. After two years, they decided to move to Atlanta where Manuk brought the first invisible cutting machine. As an innovator in the jewelry business, Manuk was able to do everything under one roof, which wasn’t the norm at the time. He was able to cast metals, set diamonds and stones, manufacture settings and polish his pieces. One person can actually do it all!

While Manuk grew the business, he needed Talar to come in and manage the store. With a background in hotel management, this was easy for Talar. She stepped in and took GIA courses to further her knowledge of the jewelry industry. With Talar’s genuine personality and Manuk’s beautiful craftsmanship, this winning combination has clients wanting more. To add to their attractive offerings, Luxor Fine Jewelry is a wholesale business, offering all pieces made in the USA.

Custom designed jewelry is Luxor’s specialty but they also offer a variety of designer pieces and have pre-made items in their store for clients. Watch and jewelry repair, appraisals and more are available at either location. Their goal is to not only provide you with exceptional jewelry pieces but to also build lasting relationships. When you shop at Luxor, you are treated like family! Please come see Talar and Manuk in their new, Chastain location!
