HAMSER (by Sergey Khalapyan)

Founded in 2007 by Armenian jewellery designer Sergey Khalapyan, HAMSER is an independent jewellery brand that combines contemporary design with Armenian cultural heritage. The brand reflects the designer's personal creative vision, translating ideas and artistic influences into distinctive handcrafted pieces.

Inspired particularly by Armenia's historic architecture, ornamental details, and cultural identity, Khalapyan transforms traditional forms and symbolism into contemporary jewellery. His designs explore sculptural shapes, intricate details, and the relationship between artistic expression and wearability.

Khalapyan's background in watchmaking has influenced his approach to jewellery creation, bringing precision, patience, and technical discipline to the design and manufacturing process. Each piece develops from an original idea, with careful attention to proportion, materials, and finishing.

Through HAMSER, Khalapyan aims to create meaningful jewellery that connects Armenian heritage with contemporary artistry. His work reflects a commitment to preserving cultural identity through design while developing a distinctive creative language for an international audience.
