Remember the holiday jingle “The Twelve Days of Christmas” with the famous line “five golden rings”? Well, I’ve always wanted to create a Gift Guide inspired by that idea, but I always felt limited by the number five. However, after discovering the incredible rings made by The Radiance, a group of 13 talented BIPOC designers, I realized it was finally time to showcase their amazing golden creations.
The Radiance is composed of Angely Martinez, A.M. Thorne, Bijules, Common Right Supply, KLG Jewellery, Lola Feinhirst, Lorraine West, Maggi Simpkins, Mazahri, Melanie Eddy, Olivia Shih, Viviana Langhoff, and White/Space. These emerging designers were part of the inaugural mentorship program of COUTURE’S Diversity Action Council (DAC) in 2020. The initiative received support from De Beers, who provided the designers with Code of Origin diamonds and a production budget.
