It all began by chance — as the best stories often do.
Our founder, Asya, had spent years immersed in the world of high jewelry, watches, and premium brands. She knew exactly how the industry works — what true craftsmanship looks like — but she also saw what clients really crave today: "I want something different. I want to stand out. I want to be special."
One day, at a craft fair in Dubai, Asya spontaneously assembled a necklace from simple materials and charms — intuitively, without a plan. That piece, made with emotion rather than design, drew instant attention. Friends began asking where they could get one too.
Later, during a long-awaited trip to the US, the idea evolved. Walking through Manhattan, surrounded by shop windows full of charm-based jewelry, Asya realized — this wasn’t coincidence, it was a trend. And if it was a trend, it deserved a new interpretation — one born between Russia and the UAE.
That’s how AlterEgo took shape.
