Our Story

Fine art is rarely born in a traditional design studio. It is captured when raw, uninhibited creativity strikes a canvas completely unburdened by the rules of the world... 

The story of the Island Sun began inside a standard childhood art class. It was there that a young artist, 8 years of age, took a block of ceramic clay and instinctively sculpted a striking, deeply organic sun visage. Its raw, asymmetrical contours and mid-century modern silhouette evoked the primitive power of a classic Picasso sketch—a pure manifestation of childhood innocence captured in clay:

Since that day, that original ceramic canvas was celebrated and preserved. It stood as both a public and private symbol of creative clarity and pure expression. Following its award-winning debut and extended exhibition in Naperville's municipal center, the power of the object revealed itself over time to be more than just a pretty sun or a pretty face—it is a true reflection of humanity and the innocence of art.

Today, that exact childhood masterpiece is legally cataloged and permanently secured under formal intellectual property in the authorship registry. Under the guidance of its founder, it serves as the foundational message behind Livity Jewelers.

Operating out of our parent entity, KickBass Co. (established in 2000), we set out to preserve the absolute high-fidelity truth of the original hand-sculpted clay canvas. We bypassed mass-production assembly lines and anchored our manufacturing directly onto Chicago’s historic Jewelers' Row.

Through advanced high-resolution engineering and lost-wax vacuum foundry physics, we replicate every organic ridge, fingerprint, and hand-formed sunray contour directly into Solid 14K, 18K and 22K Yellow Gold.  Our flagship collection spans from wearable 28mm and 35mm everyday fine pendants up to our heavy, standalone 47mm Redeemer Medallion - a pristine, physical 1 Troy Ounce (31.1g) gold art asset.

In Rastafari tradition, Livity represents the sacred, natural energy that flows through all living things. We believe true luxury can actively play its part.

Because of this, Livity Jewelers operates strictly on a sustainable Private Pre-Order Allocation Model. We do not engage in commercial mass retail. Instead, we pool our exclusive, limited-run batch drops directly to protect our manufacturing margins and maximize our humanitarian impact.

We keep our philanthropy transparently simple. Exactly 3% of every single retail allocation across our entire collection is strictly funneled into building and deploying localized, life-saving fresh-water drinking networks in the neediest regions, launching first in Jamaica then projecting into South Asia and Central and Sub-Saharan Africa.  These funds can also be channeled towards local programs that support sports, music and arts participation.

When a collector acquires a piece from the Island Sun series, they are not merely diversifying capital into a precious metal asset. They are preserving a documented artistic lineage and delivering direct, life-saving hydration to communities in need.

This is an elite luxury asset collection seamlessly bridging the gap with global humanitarian restoration. This is Livity in action!
