Alan Koulian, better known as Alan K., is the mastermind behind the Designo, Millacreli and Stingray lines. Alan K.’s career has taken him all around the world making him a skilled expert on the art of jewelry making. Starting at an early age in the Middle East, he learned the ins and outs of the jewelry business. He continued on to study at jewelry art schools in France and went on to Cyprus and Monaco to create jewelry designs for various companies. It wasn't until 1985, though, that Alan K. finally settled in Los Angeles.

Later, during a visit to Venice, Italy, he was introduced to Murano glass making. Alan K. was amazed and inspired by this beautiful glass and began to incorporate his ideas with it. During his time there, he had the opportunity to work with one of the oldest and best factories that had been around since the 1890s. He then started creating his own pieces using the Murano glass and sterling silver in 1997, which eventually lead him to team up with Silvex International, Inc. – Los Angeles.

Today, Alan K.'s designs are exclusively distributed by Silvexonline.com.
