When Shayan was six years old, he hung out at his father’s jewelry shop in Downtown LA and learned everything he could. At 18, this jewelry Doogie Howser launched his own line. Not much older now, Shayan’s client list is as massive as it is impressive, boasting names like Rihanna, Lebron James, Kim Kardashian, even the Saudi Royal family. Specializing in over-the-top custom fine jewelry, he designed an amazing $1 million bespoke ring for Amar’e Stoudemire and his wife. Um.. Ca-ching!
