LEVUMA is a Belgian jewellery company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium. The company designs and produces diamond jewellery for an international clientele.
History
LEVUMA was founded in 2016 by Belgian-Lebanese diamantaire Ali Khalil, a former Goldman Sachs banker. While Khalil started the company in 2016, this had been his family business for decades. His great-grandfather started trading rough diamonds in 1930 in Sierra Leone, who had migrated to Sierra Leone from Lebanon in the 1890s. The company’s name derives from Levuma, a village in Sierra Leone associated with the family’s early diamond mining activities.
Operations
LEVUMA operates within the high-jewellery and diamond sector, producing bespoke pieces and working with rare diamonds for private clients. The company is involved in multiple stages of the diamond supply chain, including sourcing, cutting, and jewellery design.
Media coverage and recognition
In 2025, LEVUMA gained broader attention when singer Mariah Carey wore a diamond set created by the brand at the MTV Video Music Awards. In February 2026, Carey wore a LEVUMA necklace at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Milan. Additional coverage in The Times highlighted Khalil’s role as a designer of high-value diamond jewellery worn at major international events.
Products and design
LEVUMA specializes in high jewellery, particularly diamond-based creations. Its work often emphasizes bespoke design and the use of high-quality stones, including large and rare diamonds.
