The 18K 'Gold' Hoops by Aamina Juma

This artwork by fine jewellery designer and artist Aamina Juma, subverts our natural perceptions of jewellery. Precious metals and gemstones, traditionally denoting wealth, give way to wool, challenging our assessment of worth.

Through her dramatic manipulations of material and proportion in her playful and joyful works, Aamina invites us to reassess the role of jewellery and how we determine its value.

The 18K 'Gold' Hoop Earrings, made using tufted New Zealand wool play with a surreal proportion and material of a timeless classic – Hoop Earrings: supposedly crafted in 18k gold.

To continue with her real / surreal approach, these hoop earrings sculpture from this edition may differ slightly from the images shown, based on how the trompe l'oeil "gold" captures the light on the day you wear them or put them on display.

Aamina Juma

Aamina’s collection subverts our natural perceptions of jewellery. Precious metals and gemstones, traditionally denoting wealth, give way to wool, challenging our assessment of worth. Instead of the delicacy and sophistication of fine jewellery, Aamina employs a scale that takes her work into a playful, whimsical realm. Through her dramatic manipulations of material and proportion, Aamina invites us to reassess the role of jewellery and how we determine its value.
