JEWELRY WITH INTENTION

We were born in LONDON, and debuted at the iconic colette concept store in PARIS. 
Now we call CHICAGO home. 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

ALMASIKA
Art, Design & Culture. ALMASIKA merges an abundance of influences. We embrace global traditions to create sculptural jewelry rooted in the universal symbols and stories spanning generations and cultures. We embarked on a journey following a singular philosophy – to explore what we have in common with others.
Softness, Curves & Timelessness. Almasika’s signature aesthetic of abstract lines and organic curves reflects an effortless, typically Parisian elegance. Necklaces undulate delicately, bracelets twine, earrings nestle. We design timeless jewelry that comes to life with you, crafted to move through your day, your life and through generations.
Contemplation, Reflection & Discussion, ALMASIKA learns from cultural craftspeople who act both as interlocutors and sources of inspiration, setting in motion an artistic and intellectual dialogue. Each has contributed to the genesis of the house’s powerful contemporary jewelry. 

OUR LUMINARIES
