The Mozafarian brand today

The Mozafarian Brand continues to grow generation to generation. Each family member adapts their version of the brand independently which is why today the Mozafarian name can be seen and heard in over forty different locations across the globe. Its mystical heritage represents the epitome of allure, charm yet elegance, always aspiring to the extraordinary and boundless. Mozafarian’s signature craftsmanship can be seen from exquisitely designed everyday jewellery for both men and women through to their one of a kind bespoke masterpieces.

The Mozafarian family’s heritage goes back to Neuchatel in Switzerland when, in 1821, they were invited to Iran (Persia) to serve under Royal Patronage as fine clock makers.

From here, the family diversified into the Gold and Silversmith Trade. As with all fine luxury goods, recommendation is the best form of advertising and so their reputation and client base has grown ever since.

1821

Seven generations ago, Monsieur Favre left his native village, Neuchatel in Switzerland, to establish one of the world’s oldest and most renowned successful dynasties. The Mozafarian story is one of romance when Monsieur Favre was invited under royal patronage to leave the west and build clock towers in Persia. Whilst serving the Royal Families, Monsieur Favre fell in love with the people and culture but it was true love that solidified his commitment. His heart was captured by a Persian lady and they soon after united in marriage. The Mozafarian name was born, deriving from meaning of being Victorious.
