Lina Gagikyan: The Art of Wearable Expression at Lusanet Collective
From the very beginning, Lusanet Collective has been a home for artists who push the boundaries of design and craftsmanship. One such artist who has been a part of this creative hub since its inception is Lina Gagikyan. With a dedicated following that seeks one-of-a-kind wearable art, Lina has established herself as a visionary in the world of handmade jewelry and accessories. Her work is not just about aesthetics—it’s a fusion of artistic expression, intricate technique, and storytelling through design.
Lina Gagikyan is the founder and director of Piafchik Handmade Designer Jewelry, a brand she launched in 2012. Since then, Piafchik has gained a loyal following of over 20,000 admirers in Armenia and abroad. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind work of art—bold, expressive, and designed to make the wearer feel confident and unique. Her jewelry is not merely an accessory; it is a statement of individuality, blending Armenian cultural heritage with modern fashion.
Lina, a graphic artist with a Master’s degree in Graphic Arts, is also a member of the Artists’ Union and an acclaimed Folk Artisan. She brings her artistic background into every creation, ensuring that each piece is meticulously designed and handcrafted. Her process begins with a custom sketch, engraved onto brass, and treated with a patina technique that evokes the look of ancient, unearthed treasures. No two pieces are ever the same—they are never duplicated. Her collection includes rings, earrings, necklaces, brooches, and accessories that celebrate both tradition and modernity.
One of the defining characteristics of Lina’s work is the technique she employs. She masterfully combines hand-engraving, patina treatments, and detailed craftsmanship to bring her designs to life. This meticulous approach resonates deeply with her followers, who appreciate the authenticity and exclusivity of her art. Piafchik jewelry is a personal statement, meant for individuals who embrace originality and artistic craftsmanship.
Lina’s presence at Lusanet Collective has been instrumental in elevating the collective’s reputation as a space for truly unique, high-quality, and artist-driven creations. She deeply values the collaboration with Lusanet, recognizing it as a significant opportunity to showcase her work in the United States alongside other Armenian brands. She admires the incredible work that Lucy and Anet have done in bringing Armenian craftsmanship to a much bigger market, helping artisans like herself gain recognition beyond Armenia.
For those who seek jewelry that transcends trends and speaks to individuality, Lina Gagikyan’s Piafchik collection is a must-see. Her pieces are an invitation to experience art in a tactile, personal way—to wear creativity, history, and innovation all at once. As a longstanding member of Lusanet Collective, Lina continues to inspire and captivate those who appreciate the beauty of true craftsmanship.
