Nazarelle 18 Karat Yellow Gold Diamond Criss Cross Ring

The Houston, Texas-based jewelry company Nazarelle creates exquisite pieces of exceptional quality. The company meticulously fashions bridal rings, drop necklaces and pendants from luxurious materials, such as gold, platinum, tourmaline and diamonds, each piece conjuring visions of some far-away exotic locale.

Houston native Alec Kalajian established Nazarelle in 2011. A third-generation jeweler, Kalajian learned the craft from his father and started creating his own jewelry at the age of 19. Kalajian’s skill and natural talent are evident in the jewelry he creates. Each one-of-a-kind piece is crafted with painstaking detail and an eye for sophisticated beauty. Nazarelle is especially known for its engagement rings, which include solitaire, three-stone, halo and under halo settings that offer both classic and contemporary styles. The under halo rings, for instance, innovatively involve a ring of pavé set diamonds on either side of the center stone. The company also produces opulent wedding bands for men and women, wrapped in dazzling diamonds. All are made in Nazarelle’s Houston workshop. 

From rings with diamonds encircling their settings to necklaces made with warm rose gold, there is a luminous quality to the elegant jewelry. Nazarelle jewelry regularly features uncommon gemstones such as Australian black opals, tourmaline, alexandrite and morganite for pops of enchanting color. 

The Nazar and Co. jewelry store in Houston represents Nazarelle, carrying its full line of handmade works.
