In the early 1900's, Arsen Ohanian started in the jewelry business as an apprentice. In 1943 he opened his own store, with his son Vartan at his side. Arsen knew that being the new kid on the block meant he would have to work twice as hard if he wanted to succeed. He knew that the key to building a successful business was to build long term relationships. He also knew that the best way to accomplish this was not only to deliver a good quality product on time, but to deliver to your customer exactly what you promised, honesty.

As the years passed and Vartan became more involved in the business, he was trained with the same principles his father kept close to heart. As Vartan assumed the responsibilities of the company he expanded into wholesale as well as retail, with a manufacturing facility on the second floor, above the jewelry store. During this time he also established deep ties with his suppliers overseas.

As tradition continued, Vartan's sons became involved with him in the business. In 1976, the family came to the United States. Doing what they knew best, they established their business in the U.S., their new home. The principles that guided Arsen over the years were immensely valuable to the current business. Even with two generations of experience and contacts in the industry behind them, the new generation was the "new kids on the block". This time, the business focused mainly on the wholesaling of loose diamonds (GIC) and the manufacturing of fine jewelry D'ORO. Over the years D'ORO has been selling quality diamond jewelry to stores throughout the United States. Arsen's work ethics and principles, mainly the honesty in business, are credited as being the backbone to D'ORO's success.
