BEHIND THE BRAND
My name is Malaika, and I am the architectural designer-turned-jewellery designer behind Chalk,
a London-based design studio.
My passion lies in exquisitely crafted design in all its forms. From the grandeur of sprawling cityscapes to the intricate details of fine jewellery, I find beauty in the everyday.
My journey into jewellery design didn’t follow the traditional path, which I believe brings a distinctive quality to my pieces. Inspired by my architectural background and a love for the vibrant patterns found in diverse cultures worldwide, I create collections that are truly unique.
Each piece is a labour of love, meticulously crafted to balance form and function. I want my designs to not only be worn but to evoke joy and confidence, adding a bold and unique touch to your personal style.
Join me as we explore a world where unconventional shapes and vibrant colours collide, creating wearable art that tells its own story.
My architectural background and passion for design infuse my jewellery with a dynamic edge, making each piece a true reflection of my creative journey.
I studied architecture at the University of Greenwich and completed my qualifications at Westminster University. It was during my time there that I began experimenting with model making and jewellery creation,
sparking the passion that ultimately led to Chalk.
