Inspired by ancient civilizations, the Mediterranean, and the romantic city of Istanbul, where she grew up, acclaimed designer, Lika Behar, creates unique and intimate works of wearable art. Her hand-wrought individual designs are made using ancient jewelry making techniques from ancient Greek and Byzantine times. Much of the artisanal work is one of a kind, unique, and as different as the ethically sourced striking gemstones she uses. Her collection elegantly combines these brilliant gemstones with 22 & 24k gold and blackened silver, resulting in pieces created with a sensual and tactile modernism that yields attainable luxury for the modern woman whose style reflects a classic yet unique and modern feminine spirit. “My customers today are looking for something unique, something different, and something that has meaning. Perhaps they are looking for a special experience. In essence they are looking for art!” -Lika Behar
