The Kavor's Gift
The most honored gift of the Armenian wedding
The Most Honored Gift
A gift that answers a lifelong bond
Of everyone at the wedding, the kavor carries the most weight — the couple's sacred sponsor, a steadying presence the family keeps for life, who often stands as godfather to the child that follows. His gift answers that bond: by tradition, an Armenian cross necklace, a talisman of protection and faith.
Speak with a Heritage AdvisorIn an Armenian wedding, no role carries more weight than the kavor. He is the couple's sacred sponsor — chosen for his standing and his steadiness, a presence the family keeps for life, who often goes on to stand as godfather to the child that follows.
His gift is expected to answer that bond. By tradition it is an Armenian cross necklace: a talisman of protection and faith, worn close and kept for generations. Of every piece exchanged across the day, the kavor's is the most considered — and the most remembered. Each is artisan-crafted in our Yerevan atelier, in gold chosen to last a lifetime.
