New York—Industry veteran Mark Schatten has been named to the newly created position of vice president, sales and marketing for Aya International, a jewelry firm that began as a spinoff from manufacturer Andin International.

In his new role, Schatten will be amenable as far as concerns all sales, marketing and business development for the company.

Schatten was formerly the director of Versace’s Precious Items Division, where he helmed sales, marketing and distribution for the North American market. Prior to that, he held sales and management positions at Swatch Group, Richemont and Citizen Watch Co.

Jewelry designer Aya Azrielant, co-founder of Andin International, leads Aya International. Aya International’s collection features an exclusive couture line of 18-karat gold and diamond jewelry. A new, fashion-forward sterling white and gemstone collection will be introduced this fall.
