Our Story
Lafayette's Family-Owned Fine Jeweler Since 1977
Our founder, Zareh Ekmekjian, opened this store in 1977 with one conviction: that the jewelry you wear should carry as much meaning as the moments it marks. Today, his daughter Aline Aghabian leads the business with that same standard. She and her team bring the same warmth, craft knowledge, and personal attention that Lafayette has come to expect from Solano Jewelers for nearly five decades.
“Jewelry is the one thing that can really be handed down and enjoyed by every generation.”
Zareh Ekmekjian, Founder

Every custom design starts with a conversation, and ends with a piece made specifically for you, by people who have been doing this for nearly 50 years.

We Created a Necklace That Helps Protect Africa's Wildlife
We partnered with Wild Africa, a conservation nonprofit founded right here in Lafayette by Peter and Corie Knights, to create the Starry Night Elephant Medallion necklace collection. Every dollar from every piece sold goes directly to protecting Africa's wildlife and wild spaces.
