Avi and Nika's Rings
The rings that sparked their life long mission to craft bespoke personal jewelry with love.
Custom made for one another.
About Us
Founded by Avi and Nika, a husband-and-wife duo whose love story shape every curve and cut, AviNika was created to bring meaning back to jewelry.
Every design begins with a story — yours — and ends with a master piece forged in fire, love, and legacy.
We craft one-of-a-kind pieces for those who don’t settle for ordinary. No mass production. No shortcuts. Just rare, personalized creations — made once, and never again.
Behind the Vision
"I was tired of seeing uninspired, overpriced wedding bands. When Nika custom-made my Wedding Band, it hit me - this is what jewelry should feel like. Personal. Intentional. A real reflection of our story.
For over 40 years - Nika's family has harnessed passion for crafting personal gifts from metal. Now we saw the need for this personalization in men's jewelry.
That's why we started AviNika.
We want every couple to look at their ring and feel what I feel: deeply in love, like this piece was made just for them. Because it was.
Your forever ring shouldn't be mass-produced. It should be forged in gold and set with diamonds as carefully chosen as the partner you chose for life.
AviNika is family. We're here for life's most meaningful pieces."
- Avi Dubey, Founder & CEO
Lysenko Legacy
Drawing upon over a 40-year legacy of Nika's family crafting art from precious metals as personal gifts, AviNika Jewelry was established. Nika left her comfortable software engineer job to devote her creative, technological, leadership and organizational skills to bring fusion of Avi's and her family's vision for personal precious gifts to the global stage.

Behind the Lysenko name is a wealth of creativity
In 1982, Nika's grandfather made metal art for a relative's 60th birthday. AviNika Jewelry maintains the tradition of personal gifts today.
Making personal gifts from metal Nika's grandfather portrayed the character of the receiver through the art. From Ukrainian Kozak warrior to fearless Amazons, he captured the beauty of their spirit.
Today AviNika Jewelry is also inspired by classical symbols of undying legacy, with meandering motifs and acanthus scrolls seen on the most well known classical and modern architecture.

Nika's father makes jewelry and statues in his Kyiv high-rise. Just in the last couple years he has built over 15 furnaces, to make more and more complex pieces. Some of his process and creations can be seen below.
Fun fact: Nika's last name Lysenko comes from Ukrainian word "Lysa" (fox), which inspired so many of his artworks.
