AK Ana Khouri- The Sculptor‑Jewelers Redefining High Jewelry With Ethical Brilliance and Brown Gold

Known for her sculptural approach, ethical craftsmanship, and innovative use of materials such as her newly developed brown gold.

Born in Brazil and based in New York, she creates limited‑edition, hand‑sculpted pieces that merge 18‑carat gold, rock crystal, and diamonds with exceptional precision. Exhibited at Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and TEFAF, Khouri is celebrated worldwide for redefining contemporary jewelry through art, sustainability, and technical mastery.

A contemporary jewelers in fine arts and sculpture is central to her signature aesthetic

Few contemporary jewelers have reshaped the landscape of haute joaillerie as profoundly as Ana Khouri, the Brazilian‑born, New York–based artist whose work sits at the intersection of sculpture, ethics, and wearable art.

Trained first as a sculptor before turning to jewelry, Khouri approaches each piece as a three‑dimensional artwork designed to interact intimately with the body.
Her background in fine arts and sculpture is central to her signature aesthetic, where fluidity, balance, and purity of form guide every creation.

✨ Who Is Ana Khouri? A Sculptor Before a Jeweler

Born in São Paulo in 1981, Ana Khouri grew up between Brazil and the United States. She studied sculpture and earned a Fine Arts degree at FAAP in São Paulo before deepening her expertise in gemology at the Gemological Institute of America and studying jewelry design at Parsons School of Design and Central Saint Martins in London.

Her artistic journey began in 2002, working on sculptural projects that naturally evolved into jewelry—pieces that echo the body’s curves and movements rather than simply adorn them.

In 2013, she opened her New York salon, and her work has since been exhibited at Phillips, Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and TEFAF New York, confirming her status as one of the most innovative voices in contemporary high jewelry.

💎 A Philosophy of Ethical Luxury and Limited Editions

Ana Khouri is known for her commitment to responsible production.
She creates only a few dozen numbered, limited‑edition pieces each year—an intentional choice that preserves artistic integrity and environmental responsibility.

Unlike traditional art, which can exist in infinite forms, jewelry must withstand daily life.
For Khouri, a jewel must have a “quality of life,” meaning durability, comfort, and harmony with the wearer’s body.
This philosophy guides her meticulous craftsmanship and her insistence on sculpting each piece by hand.

🟤 Brown Gold: Ana Khouri’s New Alchemical Mastery

At the heart of her latest creations lies a groundbreaking innovation: l’or marron (brown gold)—a unique alloy she spent several years developing. This warm, subtle, and deeply contemporary metal expands the emotional and aesthetic vocabulary of gold itself.

Her new pieces combine:

18‑carat brown gold,
hand‑carved rock crystal,
and breathtaking white diamonds.

This fusion of materials requires extreme precision and a sculptor’s sensitivity. The rock crystal is carved by hand to envelop the gold, creating a translucent, ethereal effect that feels both futuristic and timeless.

Jewelry as Sculpture, Sculpture as Jewelry

Khouri’s pieces are instantly recognizable:

ear cuffs that wrap the ear like a line of light,
rings that float between fingers,
cuffs that seem to grow organically from the wrist.

Her work blurs the boundary between adornment and art. Exhibited in major auction houses and museums worldwide, her jewelry is collected as much for its artistic value as for its rarity.
