Bedig Minassian, founder of the brand Mother Holding Child (ALOUUM)

Bedig Minassian is a Dallas-based 3rd generation jeweler with more than 40 years of experience in the art of fine jewelry. Over the course of his career, he has developed a reputation for blending timeless craftsmanship with meaningful design, creating heirloom pieces that honor love, heritage, and the stories of families.

As the founder of the brand Mother Holding Child (ALOUUM), Bedig has built a brand that reflects both artistry and purpose. His collections are known not only for their beauty but also for their symbolism, often inspired by the universal values of connection, resilience, and compassion. Each creation is designed to be more than adornment - it is meant to carry memory, meaning, and a sense of belonging.

Beyond his work at the bench, Bedig is deeply committed to philanthropy and community support. He has dedicated his time and resources to initiatives that provide relief for families in need, develop apprenticeship opportunities for young artisans, and foster programs that strengthen family bonds. His philosophy is rooted in the belief that jewelry, much like family, is a legacy to be shared and passed forward.
