In his jewelry designs for his brand Khiry, Jameel Mohammed challenges Eurocentric notions of luxury and high fashion by employing the principles of Afrofuturism—the intersection of African diaspora culture with technology. “It’s a means of reexamining my own history and culture, and finding beauty with myself and my people,” says Mohammed, who grew up in Chicago and was encouraged by his parents to explore his African ancestral history. He channels these stories and motifs into his sleek, minimal designs, such as these hoop earrings in the brand’s signature Khartoum silhouette. These sleek hoops have a tapered shape, expressing the designer’s vision of “marrying sophistication with edge,” and are embellished with tiny spheres. Made in New York City from 18k-gold-plated sterling silver, these Khiry Khartoum Hoop Embellished Earrings have a 2.5” drop.
