Krisonia’s Flower of Light necklace has been awarded the prestigious Inhorgenta High Jewellery Award 2026•
Since childhood in Aleppo, Krikor Istanboulli has been interested in the art of goldsmithing. But life has led him to focus on the precious metals trade: he began trading gold and stones between East and West. After his family moved to Europe, and with extensive experience in the jewelry world behind him, Vace Istanboulli, Krikor’s son, founded Krisonia in 2019. Krisonia recently opened a private showroom in Milan, accessible by appointment only, on Via Monte Napoleone, one of the world’s luxury shopping streets. Thanks to his family’s experience, the jeweler has been able to supply his Maison with precious stones and gold that would satisfy even a mahrajah. While he continues to manage the wholesale business of precious metals, he has developed a brand that uses the finest materials.
Directing the flow of diamonds, rubies and emeralds is his son Vace, who graduated from GIA. In order not to miss anything, he has also become an expert in pearls, after spending six months working with an Akoya and South Sea wholesaler. He also spent some time in Antwerp, the capital of diamonds. In short, no improvisation, they are professionals here. Valuable help also comes from Zarmine, his daughter, who joined the company in 2003. She does marketing. In short, the work of the Istanboulli family is at the top and now their manufacturing and wholesale companies are among the largest in Italy. Now, official recognition has arrived: Krisonia’s Flower of Light necklace has received the Inhorgenta High Jewellery Award 2026.
