"At the age of 10, I learned that gold was more than a precious metal." - Tatev Papikyan, Founder  

It was a beacon of hope for my family, particularly my mother, who courageously sold her favorite pieces to cover her flight to the United States - a land with opportunity and a better tomorrow.

Witnessing my mother's autonomy to decide it's upon her to give our family a better future is empowering now. I reflect on the transformative power of gold-it wasn't merely a commodity, but a catalyst for empowerment and the realization of dreams. 

In my late twenties, I embarked on a deeply personal journey of self-discovery.  I found comfort that transcends borders and cultures. 

" Through traveling, I start collecting gold jewelry from every corner of the globe - a tangible reminder of my journey and of autonomy. "

Today, I travel the globe and curate pieces that transcend the ordinary into extraordinary, each piece inspiring with a unique story and cultural significance. When you wear one of my pieces, you are not just adorned with jewelry - you are adorned with a sense of empowerment, a link to global heritage, and, above all, the autonomy to shape your own destiny. 

TatoJ is globally inspired, uniquely you! 

Yours truly,

Tato
