Founded in 2016 by Leslie Tcheyan and her daughters Octavia and Thea Giovannini-Torelli, Of Rare Origin is a New York City–based jewelry house that reimagines "wearable poetry." Drawing on thirty years of experience in the arts and luxury sourcing, the trio collaborates with small family workshops in Italy to create whimsical, narrative-driven pieces that blend heritage craftsmanship with contemporary playfulness.
