Testimonials

Vladimir,

What can I say? Your work is impeccable! I couldn't be more pleased with
the results of both of my rings (Eric & Family Ring). You exceeded my
expectations and were able to capture my ideas better than what I envisioned
in my mind.  I will cherish these pieces for a lifetime and am honored to be
able to pass such fine quality heirlooms to my children.

I look forward to working with you again, to commission a new piece upon my
return to the United States. You are a true artisan and a master of your
craft.

Kindest Regards,

E. N. Minter

Vladimir,
I received the ring today (12/31/11), what a magnificent piece of workmanship. It is absolutely the best pieces of jewelry I now own. Vladimir, I feel very privilege to own an original unique piece of craftsmanship created by a world renowned goldsmith and hand engraver.

I have one suggestion; make a permanent symbol to place on each piece of engraving you create. . .
As a well establish master artist of hand engraving, you should create a unique symbol to place on your creations to show it is an original from Vladimir Chakarian.
Your artisan's symbol could be placed on the inside of rings, bracelets, the back of crosses and the bottom of cups or in any special place you choose. You have truly earned the right to sign your one of a kind special works of art. I would be honored to have a signed one of a kind Vladimir Chakarian /Almari Design to pass on to my family. This way your creation will live on as a legacy for future generations to identify that it is an original unique creation of Vladimir Chakarian.

Thank you again for your professionalism and patients in dealing with my purchase.

Vladimir - I received the ring when I returned from Afghanistan for Christmas and it is perfect. It captured exactly what I wanted, my University, the Alabama "A" looks great, and my career in the Marine Corps. I especially like the artistic nature of your work and the unique way you presented my initials. Thanks again for working with me to produce the perfect family heirloom.

Vladmir,

Just wanted to let you know that I still love the signet ring you made for me back in the summer of 2010 -- a copy of a ring that had belonged to my great aunt. It had four leaf clovers, wishbones and horseshoes as the designs down the sides. Though it is slightly different, it seems so much like the original that I hardly realize it isn't the vintage ring.

Your workmanship and efforts are still very much appreciated.
