Designer Ann Ko is a third-generation jeweler who earned a degree in biochemistry but discovered that she had inherited the family passion for fine jewelry. Liven was started by her grandfather in Taiwan and continued by her parents in Hawaii; now headquartered in Los Angeles, Ann’s designs have taken Liven in a modern direction. Known for their fine, hand-set pavé work, their pieces are eye-catching, yet subtle, and ideal for anyone looking to add a bit of sparkle to their life.
