The Art of Rarity, from gemological expertise to New York’s fashion and jewelry art.
Oksana Zorka is the Founder and Creative Director of Zoria Gems, a fine jewelry brand built around the philosophy of The Art of Rarity. A Ukrainian founder with Italian artistic influence, she combines professional knowledge of precious gemstones with a distinctive vision of contemporary jewelry design.
Her educational background includes Medical Optics at Kyiv Optico-Mechanical Technical College, Engineering Metrology, specializing in Measurement Systems, at the National Aviation University in Kyiv, and gemology studies at the Istituto Gemmologico Italiano in Milan, specializing in diamonds and pearls. Each discipline contributed to her technical precision, attention to detail, and creative approach to jewelry.
Bringing Zoria Gems to America
After developing her experience in the jewelry industry in Europe, Zorka brought her brand to the United States, choosing New York as the next chapter for Zoria Gems, whose latest work appears on the brand’s Instagram profile.
In a relatively short period since its American launch, Zoria Gems has participated in numerous fashion events, charity initiatives, pop-ups, and industry collaborations.
A notable highlight was the fashion collaboration featuring Tesla, LaMuza, and Zoria Gems, bringing together automotive innovation, fashion, and fine jewelry.
The brand also participated in fashion show collaborations with LaMuza, Sandra and Sabina at the Fashion 4 Ukraine show in both New York and Chicago, supporting Ukrainian fashion and bringing Ukrainian creativity to American audiences.
The Art of Rarity
Zoria Gems specializes in natural and lab-grown diamonds, colored gemstones, and custom-designed fine jewelry.
The brand offers personalized creations, allowing clients to select their gemstones, precious metals, and designs. Its philosophy combines gemstone knowledge, craftsmanship, and individual expression. Zorka’s background in measurement systems and gemology informs how she evaluates stones and shapes each design.
For Zorka, luxury is not defined by price alone, but by the character, quality, and rarity of a gemstone and the artistry behind each creation.
Fashion, Philanthropy, and Giving Back
Giving back is an important part of Zoria Gems’ identity. Since launching in America, the brand has participated in multiple charitable initiatives supporting Ukrainian causes and children.
Through charity events, fundraising initiatives, and fashion collaborations, Zoria Gems brings its platform beyond jewelry, connecting creativity with meaningful social impact. For a young brand in a new market, that commitment to community is part of how Zoria Gems introduces itself to American audiences.
Looking Ahead
From Ukraine to New York, Oksana Zorka is building Zoria Gems with a clear vision: to create a distinctive fine jewelry house where gemstone expertise meets artistic expression, individuality, and modern luxury.
