About Lika Behar

Acclaimed jewelry designer Lika Behar is known for her award-winning creations that blend ancient craftsmanship with modern elegance. Born into a family of gold dealers, she developed a love for jewelry at an early age—a passion that continues to inspire her work today.

Her distinctive designs feature high-karat gold, matte or oxidized sterling silver, natural diamonds, and an extraordinary array of colored gemstones, reflecting her lifelong fascination with color and the beauty of natural materials.

A passionate traveler, Lika draws inspiration from the places she explores. From the American West to the South of France, Sicily, Greece, and her native Istanbul, each destination influences her artistic vision. She is particularly inspired by the gemstone treasures of Jaipur and the vibrant markets of India, as well as the artisanal traditions of Vietnam and the gemstone-rich regions of West Africa.

Most of her jewelry is handcrafted in her own atelier in Istanbul, where skilled artisans employ time-honored techniques to bring her designs to life. The result is a collection celebrated for its unique blend of artistry, authenticity, and craftsmanship—jewelry that is highly collectible, effortlessly elegant, and unmistakably Lika Behar.

Pieces are made to order — typical turnaround is 3 to 5 weeks. Custom sizing, metal and stone changes are available on request.

Care

Wipe with a soft cloth; clean with warm water and diluted mild soap only when needed. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners. Avoid hand sanitizer, alcohol and chlorine, which fade the oxidized finish and can harm stones. The dark patina on oxidized silver softens with wear and can be re-oxidized.
