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 for men. Nika custom-made the design I loved. The Legacy Band, inspired by our love story, is more than a ring—it’s a symbol of my devotion to Nika, one I’ll wear forever.

That’s the feeling I want every couple to have: jewelry made with love and intention. My vision for AviNika is for every person to look at their ring and feel deeply in love—special and unique.

Every devoted couple deserves a ring that reflects their bond. AviNika is meant to feel like family—the brand for life’s most meaningful pieces. Your forever ring deserves to be forged in gold and set with diamonds as carefully chosen as the partner you chose for life."

Behind the Lysenko name is a wealth of creativity

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.

Fathers Legacy

Watching the warheads flying in the sky...

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.
