At Luxor Fine Jewelry, every piece begins with a story — and for us, that story starts with Manuk and Talar Torossian, a husband-and-wife team whose passion for jewelry is matched only by their care for the people who wear it.
Manuk learned his craft where craft still means something — in the workshops of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, where apprentices earn their place and shortcuts don't exist.
From there, he went to New York's Diamond District, spending years setting stones for some of the industry's top designers. In 1999, he brought that experience to Atlanta and opened Luxor, building a jewelry house around the kind of craftsmanship he'd spent his life learning.
More than four decades later, the bench is still where it all begins.
Every custom piece that leaves the studio passes through Manuk — from the first idea to the final polish. He pairs the discipline of traditional craftsmanship with the best tools available today, because the standard never changes, even when the methods do.
For Manuk, jewelry was never just about making something beautiful. It's about the care, precision, and patience it takes to make something truly worth keeping.
When people say they can't find craftsmanship like this anymore, they haven't found Manuk yet.
Since 2008, Talar has been the warmth behind everything Luxor is.
A GIA-certified jewelry professional and client specialist, she brings a warm, intuitive approach to engagement rings, diamond selection, gifting, and heirloom redesigns. She has a way of taking what can feel overwhelming and making it feel simple — listening closely, asking the right questions, and turning ideas, emotions, and milestones into something genuinely personal.
For Talar, it's never just about the jewelry. It's about the person choosing it, the meaning behind it, and making sure they feel understood and confident in the process.
She wants the best for everyone who walks through the door — and if that means lovingly pushing the rest of us to finish your piece on time, she'll do that too.
Everybody needs a Talar.
As Manuk and Talar's daughter, Tara represents the next generation of Luxor, bringing a fresh perspective to the family business she grew up in.
A University of Georgia graduate with a degree in Fashion Merchandising, Tara brings her background in fashion, luxury, and brand experience to the way Luxor connects with clients today — creating a welcoming, thoughtful experience from the moment they discover Luxor to the moment they walk through the door.
She's often one of the first people clients meet, helping make discovering fine jewelry feel thoughtful and inviting, while bringing Manuk and Talar's expertise into the process when it matters most.
For Tara, being part of Luxor means helping carry the family business forward — making fine jewelry feel a little less daunting and a lot more personal, especially for a new generation discovering it for the first time.
