The famous "Embroidered Khachkar," carved by master Poghos in 1291, is located at the Goshavank Monastery in the village of Gosh, Tavush Province, Armenia. It is widely celebrated for its delicate, lace-like stone filigree, created using local brownish-green volcanic tuff.

Celebrate the harmony of Armenian heritage, sacred artistry, and contemporary elegance with the Goshavanq Octagon Pendant, inspired by the masterful carvings of the medieval Armenian artisan Poghos Varbed.

Inspired by the intricate patterns found in Poghos Varbed’s celebrated khachkar craftsmanship, the pendant preserves the spirit of Armenia’s centuries-old stone carving tradition while embracing a graceful modern design.

The octagonal silhouette frames a delicate composition of flowing vine-like motifs, reflecting the elegant curves and symbolism found in traditional Armenian khachkars. Each interwoven line represents growth, continuity, and spiritual connection, while the openwork design creates a sense of lightness, balance, and depth.
