#15 - Ari Kafadar (Ari The Jeweler)

Ari is an expert jeweler of Armenian descent specializing in custom pieces operating out of NYC. Ari's father has been in the jewelry business for over 30 years and while at first he was not interested in continuing the family business, that all changed once he arrived to his 20's after realizing the retail industry just wasn't for him. Although starting later in life, he quickly learned the craft at an expert level creating some of the most intricate and gorgeous custom pieces for athletes, musicians, even all the way down to your average joe. Ari's claim to fame is that every single piece is made of high quality all under one roof, in house, and with zero outsourcing! We had a wonderful conversation and I gained lots of knowledge regarding the jewelry industry that I did not know of prior.
