About

Danielle Karlikoff (DK) is a Sydney-born jewelry artist based in Paris. Her practice focuses on custom-made and sculptural jewelry, treating objects as symbolic artefacts that engage with transformation, ritual, and emotional meaning.

Over 10 years she has completed more than 500 commissions for clients around the world, marking moments from weddings and divorces to promotions and re-imagined heirloom pieces. Alongside commission-based work, she develops ready-made releases and research-led projects combining jewelry, image-making, and installation.

Her work has been supported by the Australia Council for the Arts and Current Obsession's Gem Z accelerator. She recently completed a residency at the Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum in Athens and was selected as a mentor with Gen·Club.

Custom jewelry is at the core of DK’s practice. Each project begins with a conversation about the client's moment of metamorphosis. DK sculpts each piece by hand in Paris, then works with local artisans to cast, set and finish it. Every piece comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Her studio in Montreuil, east of Paris, is open for visits by appointment.
