As a Black designer, Jameel Mohammed views his designs for his brand Khiry as a means for reexamining his own history and culture—and considers how they will resonate with larger political issues and struggles. Employing the principles of Afrofuturism—the intersection of African diaspora culture with technology—Mohammed channels these stories and motifs into his sleek, minimal designs, such as these Khartoum Stud Earrings. These sleek hoop-shaped studs have a tapered silhouette in the brand’s signature Khartoum shape. The design is inspired by the cattle herded by Sudan’s Dinka tribe. The horn symbolizes the goals of Khiry: the evaluation of Black life and culture in its own context. Made in New York City from polished sterling silver and gold vermeil, these Khiry Khartoum Stud Earrings measure 0.78 diam. each.

Khiry by Jameel Mohammed
Khiry by Jameel Mohammed

Founded in 2016 by designer Jameel Mohammed, Khiry is a NYC-based Afrofuturist luxury jewelry brand. During a lecture in Japan, as part of his political science studies at the University of Pennsylvania, he was told that “luxury brands only come out of Paris and Milan.” The comments infuriated Mohammed because they suggested that a Black aesthetic could not be considered “high fashion.” To prove them wrong, he created Khiry. “I realized that, as a Black artist and designer working in the fashion industry, I would be contributing to the creation of images that would inevitably reflect and reinforce values that would resonate with larger political issues and struggles.”
