Our Story

Comprised of artists Lia, Ariella, and Adam Anderson, Malki is a family owned business specialising in unique, handmade, and culturally intersectional jewellery and art objects.

Our Namesake

Malki is named after Rachel Arlette Malki and Guy David Malki—Ariella’s mother and father and Lia and Adam’s grandparents.

The loving heads of our family have been together for over 70 years, since they were teens in the Algerian city of Constantine.

Theirs is an eternal love. It has formed the bedrock of our family and business, which is rooted in the appreciation of culture, heritage, the landscape, history, and the experiences of contemporary life.

Our Work

Malki Studio is characterised by the emotional grandeur of exaggerated archaeological, architectural, natural, and asymmetrical forms. Bold and confident, Malki creates conceptually invested and individualistic statement jewellery.

We aim to give our customers objects of self-empowerment, objects that protect and fortify as they adorn and speak to one’s identity and world view.

Malki is therefore more than a passing trend—it is a style, a way of life, a philosophy, and an investment in meaningful one of a kind jewellery and art objects.

 

Malki’s founders harmoniously incorporate a diverse set of expertise drawn from equally diverse practices.
