The Story of Katra Designs
The naming of Vic Ash’s division of his family’s specialty jewelry business is as intriguing as its logo. He works whole heartedly to gain his clients’ confidence and friendship, never compromising his relationship with them nor the quality of the materials he uses to create these hand crafted pieces.
The year was 1939 when Vic’s father opened his first workshop and store in a major Middle East location with his three brothers. As their business grew they expanded to a second location, this time in Europe. A third location, in a nearby international airport quickly followed. The four brothers’ next beautiful store was open by 1975 in an upscale Middle Eastern area. Here Vic became extremely skilled working as his father’s principal designer. They shared pride in their business and a sense of community involvement, volunteering in local organizations focusing on youth athletics and participating in fund raising events. Vic opened his first location in partnership with his father in 1980, and they worked side by side until his father retired several years later. With that business solidly established, Vic set his sights on opening another division, this time in the United States.
During that exciting time of seeing the dream of his own business in the US come true, Vic’s wife Silva had an amazing dream. In it she dreamt of a delicate white dove writing the word “KATRA”. Immediately Silva knew that they had been given the name of their new business, and Katra Designs became a reality. Although extensive etymologic searches have not been able to accurately define the word, Katra Designs has come to mean “the finest quality in custom jewelry available anywhere”. Look closely at their graceful logo and you will see a “V” artfully blended with a “K”, creatively joining Vic’s initial with the first letter of “katra”, from his wife’s dream.
Vic’s designs have graced the fingers of royalty, celebrities, and everyday folks alike. He has mentored others in the jewelry industry, willing to share his expertise and experience to help others. He continues to give back to the community, volunteering in his favorite youth organization.
Whether you choose Vic Ash as your personal jeweler or wholesale supplier, you will never be disappointed because at Katra Designs, “We never compromise relation and quality over material”.
