Having a brand that is based around empowering women means it is that much more important for me to make sure I diversify the women that I am sharing with you as inspiration! I have made a conscious effort to include women of all backgrounds and walks of life -- but I want to make a commitment to continue to do more!
.
Along with my monthly Woman Crush Wednesday at the beginning of each month, I also want to add a new blog post each 3rd Wednesday of the month that will feature Black Women and Women of Color. These women may be a combination of artists, creators, writers or women who simply inspire me. Each month I want to make sure to shine the spotlight on women whose businesses you can follow, support and celebrate today and everyday!
.
This week I am sticking to what I know best -- jewelry, of course! I have come across these ladies work in various ways - connecting through NYC Jewelry Week, friends pointing me in their direction, or simply coming across their work on the world wide web! Regardless, I admire their work and am excited to share with you!
.
Now, let's get to it -- 5 Jewelry Brands created by talented Black Female Jewelers! I hope that you will follow, support (share/like/comment) and BUY from these incredibly talented ladies!

How freaking cool are these earrings?? I am such a sucker for a statement earring but I love the unexpected elements that a lot of Bead Byaree jewelry holds!

If you want a more casual, everyday look, Lorraine has tons of options -- or those same pieces can be layered and stacked to create a statement! Not to mention, that high shine metal-ugh, love!

Such cool jewels! I have a bit of a ring stack obsession and these rings are sooooo gooooood. I especially love the cuticle rings which make such a unique accessory!

I loved reading the "About" section on Sewit Sium. I want to share a small quote and then highly suggest you go read the rest for yourself. “As a jeweler I’m interested in the animation, the living legacy of objects. When my pieces are worn, they’re activated - that is, their story and felt sense of meaning are brought to life."
