kicked it with Jamison to chat about how he went from spittin' bars to creating magic with bars of gold, what it takes to maintain your worth in the industry and how Johnny Nelson Jewelry is a love letter to Black culture.
You use your brand as a throne to the Black community, often dedicating pieces to iconic figures. How does Black culture influence the work that you do?The process of jewelry and accessory-making is a very hands-on process. What's it like to use your hands to literally build a Black-owned business from scratch?
It's rewarding. As I'm using my talents to build my legacy, I'm also continuing and honoring the legacy of others while feeding fuel to the legends in the making.Speaking of legacy, your mother has been a huge reason that Johnny Nelson Jewelry exists because she taught you how to make jewelry. What other Black women inspire you to be great?
Yes! Shout out to MUMZY XOXO. The Black woman I see in my neighborhood daily. How Black women rock jewelry and their style inspire me. I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, so I'm really inspired by dancehall. Other Black women also inspire me, like my homegirls Poochie and BIM BIM. Also, Lavonda Manning, the archivist at Sean Kelly Gallery — she stays polished. My friend
