A modern take on classical style, Lika Behar’s collection of pure gold jewelry is a herald of spring. A team of master jewelers use traditional methods of jewelry-making to hand fabricate each piece from Lika’s Istanbul atelier.

Our latest delivery of fine gold jewelry from Lika Behar featuring colored gemstones and diamonds set in 22k and 24k gold is a herald of spring. Lika’s trio of bezel-set emeralds – the birthstone of May – reflect the colors of new growth. The diamond snake – a wrap ring Lika herself often wears – has long been viewed as a powerful symbol of transformation, rebirth and healing.

“Pure gold, which I love to work with, is very soft and forgiving. I love to use richly colored gems with a soft natural faceting, with an artisan touch. I particularly love blue gems – turquoise, opals, labradorite. Their colors remind me of the Mediterranean.”
