Lika Behar

What Lika Behar does

Lika Behar Collection is a privately held, single-designer fine jewelry brand founded in 2008 by Lika Behar, an Istanbul-born designer based in Carlstadt, New Jersey. The company handcrafts jewelry using 24K gold, 22K gold, 18K gold, oxidized sterling silver, and sterling silver, accented with diamonds and gemstones including turquoise, rubies, emeralds, aquamarine, and sapphires. Its signature technical feature is a mixed-metal fusion of 24K gold with oxidized sterling silver, complemented by ancient-style granulation, reversible constructions, and diamond bezel settings, produced across roughly a dozen collections such as Turquoise Therapy, Yin and Yang, Pure Love Pure Gold, Savor Silver, Deco, Fusion, One of a Kind, and Chain Game. The Savor Silver collection alone lists approximately 335 SKUs, with broader catalog depth across the remaining collections.

The company monetizes through direct unit-pricing sales via its own e-commerce site and through a network of authorized US retailers (C.B. Stark Jewelers in MA, Frederic's Fine Jewelers in NJ, Broadmoor Jewelry Company in CO, and Sethi in CA). Unit prices span $280 for entry-level sterling silver pieces to $7,870 for 24K gold pieces with diamonds, and the brand supplements wholesale with a recurring calendar of trunk shows that double as design-led experiential retail events, including scheduled 2026 dates in MA, NJ, CO, and CA. Marketing is concentrated on organic Instagram and Facebook content plus direct email inquiries.

Operationally, Lika Behar Collection runs with 1-10 employees and is founder-led, with no disclosed venture funding, parent company, or M&A activity. It has earned industry recognition through the JCK Jewelers' Choice Awards (Best Price Point in 2017 for the Dylan Necklace; Mixed Metal in 2019 for the Stockholm Ring) and the Centurion Design Awards in 2020 for the Deco Bracelet. Its competitive position rests on a creator-driven aesthetic identity and curated US retail footprint rather than scale or technology.
