Jewelry designer Mitra Vahhaji creates uniquely wearable pieces
Growing up in Iran, jewelry designer Mitra Vahhaji was often influenced by the intricate gold jewelry worn by the women there. A U.S. resident since 1978, she pursued her passion in 2001 by starting her own jewelry business here in Edina. Using sterling silver, precious and semi-precious stones, and pearls, Vahhaji describes her pieces as organic and modern.
Vahhaji also runs a small jewelry repair service, specializing in pearl knotting and finishing, and beaded jewelry. Vahhaji currently sells her jewelry at Three Rooms in the Galleria and Gallery 360, as well as on Facebook and Etsy.
