About Doves Jewelry

Doves by Doron Paloma is a fine jewelry brand founded by designer Doron Hakimian, who combines a background in architecture with a lifelong love of gemstones inherited from his family's history in gemstone manufacturing. Every piece is crafted in 18K gold with diamonds and vividly colored gemstones, reflecting Hakimian's architectural eye for form and his passion for color-driven design. Each design carries a small, hand-stamped dove — a nod to the brand's name and its meaning of hope and new beginnings. King Jewelers is proud to carry Doves by Doron Paloma for customers drawn to bold, wearable, heirloom-quality jewelry with a genuinely personal story behind it.

History of Doves

Doves by Doron Paloma was founded in 1979 by Doron Hakimian, who grew up surrounded by the jewelry trade as the son of a family of gemstone manufacturers. Though he initially pursued a career in architecture, earning a degree and even an American Institute of Architects design award, Hakimian discovered his gift for jewelry design while sketching pieces for his family's business one summer — a talent that would define the rest of his career. The brand's name honors his parents, who fled conflict in the Middle East to build a new life in the United States; they chose the dove as a symbol of peace and hope, a meaning the brand carries forward in the small hand-stamped dove found on every piece. Over more than four decades, Doves by Doron Paloma has grown into one of the jewelry industry's most recognized names, worn by celebrities including Michelle Obama, Jennifer Lopez, and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and sold today at more than 700 points of sale around the world — all while staying rooted in Hakimian's original approach: every design still begins with a pencil and a sketch pad.
