Amissa Carvalho-Tshibuabua

Founder & Designer @Kasaï

As Founder and Creative Director of Kasaï, I lead the artistic vision and design development of a high jewelry house rooted in African legacy and shaped by global luxury codes.My creative direction spans fine jewelry, collectible design, and symbolic storytelling—where each piece is an heirloom of memory, meaning, and mastery. Kasaï traces gemstones to their exact origin, working primarily with rubies, emeralds, and diamonds from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and integrates digital certification for provenance and permanence.I oversee concept design, materials sourcing, and atelier partnerships, drawing inspiration from ancestral heritage, architecture, and high art. My design philosophy merges the sacred and the sculptural, blending Congolese aesthetics with European craftsmanship.Through Kasaï, I aim to revive the reverence of jewelry as both adornment and archive—each piece a quiet rebellion against fast luxury, and a celebration of origin, identity, and rarity.Kasaï is the design house connected to G.E.M (Gemstones Ethical Marketplace), where all stones are ethically sourced, transparently traded, and traceable via blockchain.
