Founded in 2014 by Catherine Sarr—a Paris-born designer of Beninese descent who spent over a decade in the diamond industry—Almasika creates fine jewelry that bridges cultural heritage and contemporary design. The Chicago-based brand is anchored by its debut collection, Le Cauri Endiamanté, which reimagines the ancestral cowrie shell—a historic symbol of prosperity and spirituality—into sculptural 18-karat gold and natural diamond talismans. Sarr’s background in promoting global craftsmanship deeply informs the brand's ethos, which focuses on universal symbols and human connection.
