Liven Co has a long-standing reputation for creating every day luxury jewelry that is both fashionably fresh and timeless. The brand’s creative director and designer, Ann Ko, was on a track to practicing medicine before discovering that she had inherited her family’s passion for creating fine jewelry. She soon fell in love with the science of gemstones and, with a commitment to utilizing only ethically sourced materials and gems, she continually designs pieces that combine both her love of understated elegance and fine gems.
