Bijou Lakay is a line of jewelery accessories, individually crafted by hand by a community of artisans. These ferocious art workers come from different parts of the country and migrated to the Haitian capital to seek a better life.
Using only the ancestral methods handed down from previous generations, and rudimentary equipment, these men have dedicated their lives to their work. They learned from their elders, bruising and burning their hands along the way, to produce these stunning bullhorn products.
Bijou Lakay goes beyond this extraordinary concept. The line combines this centuries-old art with a contemporary style that is free and unique. Bullhorn is one of the most difficult natural materials to work with, demanding special care and patience. This is combined with wood? typically cedar or mahogany? elements, and then within the limited-edition collections comes the addition of gemstones such as turquoise, jasper, malachite, and pearls.
