ABOUT Me I find endless inspiration in the Akan world. I come from a tribe between Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, for whom gold has profound meaning. The regalia and symbol of Akan art and jewellery is heavy in significance. When I began to design jewellery I looked back to my origins and understood that there are so many motifs and stories I could draw on. Living in Paris and seeing the high jewellery of the Place Vendôme, I knew my own jewellery line should blend the wonders of both. Ours is a powerful and beautiful culture, and I’m proud to share it with the world. Kouali Inspired by artistry and story Mining a rich seam of fascination and inspiration, Akan’s storied culture is at the heart of Liko Bijoux. Drawing on the traditional motifs of Akan art, I use these influences with contemporary polish. Continually seeking inspiration through reading and travel, I keep my imagination and sense of wonder renewed. Sharing the symbolism and meaning behind each piece, I, through Liko Bijoux’s fine jewellery, create harmony between story and style.

Inspired by Paris Designed in Paris, France, Liko Bijoux is infused with the creativity, modernity and multi-culturism the city represents. With a rich tradition of embracing new ideas and assimilating culture into art, Paris’ artistic history inspires Kouali’s design approach. Crafted in France and Italy, Liko Bijoux creates extraordinary one-of-a-kind and limited run fine jewellery. Each piece is beautifully made in 14K and 18K Gold with hand-selected gemstones.
