Jacob- the jeweler does not need any introduction. There are not many who can afford his jewelries and watches, this is what makes him all the more famous. All his products are masterpieces in themselves. Jacob Arabo started his journey at a very young age and almost without any support. He was born Yakub Arabov in 1965 in Uzbekistan and migrated to US in 1979. He was enrolled in a school which he failed to continue as he could not find any interest there. He tried his luck in a jewelry making course which prove to be the life-changing decision for him. It was not only his hidden talent but also a passion of which he was completely oblivious.
Success came to him almost in a silver platter. He had opened a small kiosk in Manhattan where he would make jewelries for various labels. He had some private clients too. He was a talented amateur entrepreneur of 16 years. But he used this phase as the learning period which paid off significantly. He founded Jacob and Co in 1985 and launched his brand Diamond Quasar. He made traditional jewelries that used very clear cut geometrical shapes. He used diamonds and semi precious stones and the jewelries were very reasonably priced. But in course of time, he became a celebrated jeweler and the favorite brand of celebrities. He has taken himself to a position where people feel proud to own a Jacob and Co design and show it off whenever flash of camera glares at them.
Today, Jacob Arabo settles for nothing less than the best for his products. He imports his favorite colorless purest form of diamonds from Golconda in India and other stones from Africa. He does not approve any of the components from a country which does not have affiliation from Kimberley Process Certification Scheme which is an international standard to regulate the transaction of conflict diamonds. No matter what you buy from Jacob & Co, even the smallest sized diamond will come with an authenticity report from GIA or Gemological Institute of America. The exclusive handpicked stones are then encrusted in suave and noble metal and result into a mesmerizing piece of jewelry. He ensures that his employees, responsible for both designing and making the jewelries and watches are cream.
Jacob- the jeweler insists that anything in which diamonds can be set can be found in his stores- from crown to shoes. For a venture only three decades old and his given humble background, he has really come a long way. His Flagship Boutique is in East 57thStreet in New York City. He has stores in almost all important cities of the world. You can find his logo encrusted stores in Chicago, Las Vegas, Florida, Paris, Geneva, Prague, Dubai, London, Venice, Rome, Tokyo etc.
