The House of ALMASIKA

Jewelry with Intention

ALMASIKA creates sculptural fine jewelry inspired by forms, symbols, and stories that transcend cultures.

Founded by Paris-born designer Catherine Sarr and based in Chicago, the House approaches jewelry as a language of connection. Each collection begins with a meaningful form and reinterprets it through a contemporary point of view, revealing the ideas that connect us across places, generations, and time.

Crafted in 18-karat gold and natural diamonds, every ALMASIKA piece is designed to carry meaning while becoming part of the life of the person who wears it.

Catherine Sarr

Founder and Creative Director

Catherine Sarr’s journey from Paris to London, Abu Dhabi, and Chicago shaped her vision for ALMASIKA.

Her years in the international luxury and diamond industries, including her time at De Beers, gave her a deep appreciation for exceptional materials, craftsmanship, and the stories held within jewelry.

Moving between cultures also inspired the philosophy at the heart of the House: a desire to explore what we share.

Through ALMASIKA, Catherine transforms symbols and forms found across cultures into a distinctive jewelry language.

Her designs do not belong to one place or moment. They speak to universal experiences of abundance, protection, wisdom, connection, harmony, resilience, and celebration.

Our Philosohpy

Art, Design & Culture ALMASIKA draws from art, design, and traditions from around the world to create sculptural jewelry inspired by symbols and stories that transcend generations and cultures. At the heart of the House is a singular philosophy: to explore what connects us.

Softness, Curves & Timelessness Abstract lines and organic curves define ALMASIKA’s signature aesthetic, expressing an effortless, distinctly Parisian elegance. Necklaces undulate along the body, bracelets curve around the wrist, and earrings frame the face. Each piece is designed to move naturally through your day, your life, and, ultimately, through generations.

Reflection & Dialogue ALMASIKA is shaped by an ongoing dialogue with artists, artisans, and cultural traditions. These encounters invite reflection and offer new perspectives, informing the House’s distinctive contemporary jewelry while creating a conversation between heritage and modern expression.
