Brand Manifesto
Every piece at ZHIVA has survived something.
The people who wear them usually have too.
I purchased the most beautiful vintage earrings from Sasha and couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is so professional, fast responses and very knowledgeable. I am a stylist, so having vintage statement earrings with old cut diamonds is absolutely perfect for my collection. Highly recommend working with Sasha and ZHIVA.
I worked with Sasha to design a custom engagement ring for my girlfriend. I had no idea where to start, and I was on a time crunch. I didn't know anything about diamonds or jewelry. Sasha was super knowleadgeble, and informative. She guided me through the entire ring making process seemlessly. We sourced a few GIA diamond options, she helped me choose the best diamond for my budget and preferncess. Then she designed a classic solitaire two tone setting, and I was able to approve the CAD and 3D printed model. My girlfriend is over the moon. Thanks God, I trusted Sasha's taste. After engagment we came back for wedding bands! Happy returning customer.
Sasha was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process of choosing the perfect engagement ring. She took the time to understand our style and preferences and helped my fiancé find the most beautiful 3-carat natural diamond for us. Her eye for quality and design is truly exceptional.
The finished ring is absolutely stunning — elegant, timeless, and even more beautiful than I imagined. From selecting the perfect diamond to creating the final setting, every detail was thoughtfully considered.
We also really appreciated the excellent communication and personalized service. Sasha made what could have been an overwhelming process feel easy, exciting, and special.
I highly recommend Sasha and this company to anyone looking for exceptional service, beautiful craftsmanship, and impeccable taste in fine jewelry. We couldn’t be happier with our ring and the entire experience!
I went to Sasha about a year ago with something really special to me - my grandmother’s old gold, along with some new diamonds I wanted to incorporate into pieces I would actually wear and enjoy.
Sasha completely understood the sentimental value behind everything and helped transform those materials into beautiful, modern pieces while still keeping the connection to my family. I love that I can now wear something that carries so much history and meaning, but still feels like me.
The entire process felt thoughtful, personal, and trustworthy. I’m so happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Sasha to anyone looking to redesign heirloom jewelry or create something truly meaningful.
I found Sasha and her company Zhiva jewelry through instagram recently. I was amazed with the amount of knowledge Sasha has about vintage jewelry. I was very excited for the first drop, and picked out a stunning antique sapphire ring. It’s truly one of a kind and full of history. I’ve never seen anything like it. Zhiva’s collection of antique and vintage jewelry is highly curated and stunning! I will be a returning customer as I build my jewelry collection 😍
I needed to get a gift for my girlfriend very last minute. And Sasha came through! I didn’t even know what to get, but Sasha suggested to go with a classic diamond tennis bracelet and sourced a few options for different price points. I was blown away with her speed and professionalism. My girlfriend is over the moon!
I worked with Sasha to source a vintage Cartier watch for myself. She verified my preferences for metal, age, watch strap and budget. In only a few weeks she presented me with a few wonderful vintage options to choose from. I settled on a classic Cartier Tank Louis in rose gold, as symbolic gift for myself to celebrate a career milestone. The entire process was so smooth and stress free. I will work with Sasha for all my jewelry and watch needs and feel confident recommending to everyone!
