About Us
In Khamitik (Ancient African) culture PTAH represents master craftmanship. The Manhattan based, family operated company, STUDIO OF PTAH truly embodies this principle and is the premier design house for fine jewelry inspired by African Art and Culture. STUDIO OF PTAH jewelry is hand designed by prolific Master Artisan Heru Semahj, who for nearly 40 years has been at the forefront of his niche. El-Aton, Semahj's son manages the business leaving his father free to focus on designing.
STUDIO OF PTAH designs are made to order and can be customized as requested. The professionals of STUDIO OF PTAH believe that jewelry represents an individual’s expression of style and consciousness. Jewelry should not just adorn, but reflect the individual, so they tailor their designs to fit you mind, body and soul. You will immediately feel a connection to your jewelry, knowing you participated in creating it. As Baba Heru says, “We create ‘Joy-elry’ beyond jewelryâ€.
STUDIO OF PTAH has gained the support of many amazing people. They designed Erykah Badu’s Signature Ankh ring and pieces worn by Andre Benjamin, Full Force, Queen Afua, Ben Vereen, Afraka Bambattaa and many others. They also designed and crafted the wedding bands for Wesley Snipes and Apprentice winner Randall Pinkett to name a few. Essence, For You and Rise magazines have featured their jewelry and it has been seen in many others. Their designs were also featured in Harriette Cole’s bestselling book, "Jumping the Broom: African American Wedding Planner".
STUDIO OF PTAH promotes innerstanding of culture, art and people through their designs. Stylish, distinctive and unique, their designs celebrate culture in an industry which remains commercial. For that reason, STUDIO OF PTAH is the jewelry company of choice for those looking for meaning with their bling.
