ABOUT

PRELUDE

​

During an era of increased fragmentation and isolation, I choose to connect and embolden. 

​

To embody the ways in which both our individual and shared human experience–our lives, histories, cultures, aspirations–entwine to forge adornments and heirlooms.

​

To inspire you to uncover your own story through the beautiful pieces birthed from the collaboration of these artistic creations. 

 

At Sjarif Studios, YOU are the inspiration.

VERSE

Your jewelry speaks volumes about you. 

​

You love simple and minimalist jewelry? Maybe you're more of a quiet observer. Your jewelry is a whispered accent to your refined taste; it adds a touch of grace, without stealing the spotlight.

​

Or maybe your jewelry is bold and vintage? You’re a fashion girly, your jewelry isn’t just an accessory; it’s a statement piece and a conversation starter! 

​

Do you feel jewelry isn’t even real if it isn’t 22k gold? Jewelry to you is a cultural treasure, an homage to your heritage. Whether you’re Persian, Chinese, Indian, Ghanaian, or any other culture that esteems pure gold. 

​

I want to tell your story. 

​

Your story is my canvas, and jewelry is my paint

INTERLUDE

Throughout my life, my unwavering passions have been artistic expression and a deep appreciation for people. 

 

Growing up, these constants led me to portrait painting. I loved capturing stories etched on the faces of my subjects, in their skin, and through their eyes.

 

While studying at NYU, this led me to pursue studies in Business, Art, and Anthropology–a means to delve into the intricacies of human experiences and values.

 

Interestingly, despite spending years telling the story of others, I overlooked my own. Like so many others, I struggled to come to terms with my transgender identity for years. The simple act of piercing my ears at 20 changed that. Suddenly I was able to express my own story through jewelry.
