Aris Xiong has always been drawn to art. As a kid, she loved oil painting, playing with colors and figuring out how different shades worked together. That same love for color and design eventually led her to gemstones—each one unique, full of character, and able to tell a story in its own way.

While studying design in Austin, Aris decided to turn her passion into something real. She started Aris Jewelry with a simple idea: jewelry should be personal, meaningful, and easy to wear every day. At first, she made handcrafted, customizable pieces for a small community of people who wanted something special—something that felt like them. Word spread, and soon, that small group of supporters grew into the foundation of the brand.

From the beginning, Aris wanted to change the way people think about fine jewelry. Most luxury brands add high markups and make customization feel out of reach. She believed it didn’t have to be that way. By sourcing gemstones directly from places like Sri Lanka, she makes sure each piece is not only one-of-a-kind but also fairly priced. The goal? To create beautiful, high-quality jewelry that feels like yours—without the extra layers of mystery or markup.

At Aris Jewelry, we believe that jewelry should feel like a second skin—something you never want to take off. Every piece is made with 18k solid gold and designed to be worn every day, growing more meaningful over time. Whether it marks a big milestone or just a small, special moment, jewelry should be more than just something pretty—it should be something personal.

Now based in New York, Aris Jewelry continues to grow while staying true to what made it special in the first place: thoughtful, small-batch designs that are as practical as they are elegant. More than anything, we want our pieces to be lived in. Because the best jewelry isn’t the kind that sits in a box—it’s the kind you wear, love, and make memories with.
