Blooming Diamonds & Gold Earrings

MADE HISTORY, STILL MAKING IT. SHERYL JONES, AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN JEWELRY DESIGNER AND GIA ALUM, IS ONE OF THE FIRST AND FEW WOMEN OF COLOR OPERATING A JEWELRY STORE IN NEW YORK CITY'S FAMED DIAMOND DISTRICT. SHE STARTED HER CAREER IN ENTERTAINMENT AND MUSIC, WORKING AS VP OF COMMUNICATIONS AT MTV, AND THIS ROLE LATER INSPIRED HER JEWELRY DESIGNS.

In her words, “I have always been passionate about fine gemstones’ transformative power and beauty and dreamed of one day bringing music’s similar vitality to a fine jewelry collection of my own.”
