Last night, for the first time in a long time, I didn’t see many emeralds on the 2021 Golden Globes red carpet (or whatever that was but I’ll take it, obviously). So if you missed them, as I did, this little missive on Net-a-Porter and emerging jewelry designer Jameel Mohammed of Khiry Fine will provide the shot of green you were missing (minus the emerald green splendor of
The Queen’s Gambit actress Anya Taylor-Joy’s slinky Dior Haute Couture creation, and actress-singer Cynthia Erivo’s fantastic lime green Valentino, that is!).
It’s a small collection just a handful of pieces but each stars a Muzo emerald (the mine has become rather deft at facilitating designer collaborations). With these jewels, Khiry is the latest brand to join The Vanguard, Net-a-Porter’s mentorship program for emerging talent. Mohammed’s mentor will be designer Matthew Harris of Mateo, who was the one who suggested he be brought in for this initiative.
Khiry, the Afro-futurist luxury brand founded by Black jeweller Jameel Mohammed, launches it first fine jewellery collection exclusively on Net-A-Porter later this month. Amanda Gorman wore the jewellery on the cover of Time magazine.
