the designers

 

Jewelry designers and Sisters, Mari ("iram") and Lani ("inal") Davis, have been designing and creating jewelry as a casual hobby for over 12 years.  Recently, we decided to hone our craft professionally.

 

For us, creating a piece of jewelry is a purely organic process that starts with the stone or material itself:  From the small black lines of the matrix in a piece of turquoise, to the unexpected surprises hidden inside a piece of Baltic amber, it is the material - or focus of our jewelry - that drives us to make something that's small and individual into something whole, complete and beautiful.

 

Both self-taught, indie-artists, we initially began making jewelry to create an artistic filter in our busy, business-professional lives (with degrees in biology and law).  We evenly divide the creative process, jointly devising the concept of a design, then go forth to make an equal amount of earrings, bracelets, and necklaces for each collection.

 

Our inspiration?  Our mother, grandmothers, aunts, mentors and friends: The strong, beautiful women influences who taught us in our youth, and guide us in our adult years. 

 

As we have been surrounded by such wonderful women our entire lives, we are both vast believers that any "iconic woman" can make a statement in any way she chooses - whether it be through her words, her dress, or expressing herself through a beautiful piece of jewelry to make an individualistic statement. 

 

While we always ensure that we keep up with the current trends in jewelry, our focus is on creating timeless pieces that not only speak to the individual wearer, but also screams to the masses - without words - that the wearer is "Iconic."

 

The designs we create are inspired from all cultures of the world, but are mainly Afrocentric in nature.  As strong women, we look back to the large cuffs bracelets, woven necklaces, and breastplates worn by our ancestors as inspiration, and try our best to continue the tradition of those styles, but with a modernized twist and flair. 

 

Although we stylistically construct a wide variety of jewelry pieces, our specialty lies in our beautiful woven necklaces, made from beading filament, abalone shell or semiprecious stone, and sterling silver findings.

 

The sisters currently reside in St. Louis, Missouri, and Atlanta, Georgia.
