TWO Chatswood jewellers may soon have top Aussie models vying to wear
their designs.
Berj Ohanessian won the Red Carpet category for his Fireworks ring
and Robert Musson won the Fancy Colour category with his Embrace ring
at a glittering ceremony for the 2011 Australian Jewellery Awards at
the Hilton Hotel.
Born to Armenian parents in Iraq, Ohanessian moved to Australia with
his family when he was 14.
He first followed in his father and brother’s footsteps as a carpenter
before finding out, by accident, that he wanted to be a jeweller. The
Fireworks was created using mainly small diamonds, totalling 7.13
carats, and is valued at $34,000.
“I would like to see Megan Gale or Sarah Murdoch wearing the ring
because they both seem very down to earth,” Ohanessian, 52, said.
And Mr Musson is sure to have a slew of supermodels vying for a chance
to wear his pink and blue diamond Embrace ring, valued at $278,000,
with a total carat weight of 3.06.
