Simone I. Smith Jewelry and Sergio Hudson to Unveil New Collaboration at New York Fashion Week

Exclusive jewelry collection inspired by Adinkra symbolism will make its runway debut at Sergio Hudson's 10th anniversary show

NEW YORK, PRNewswire -- Simone I. Smith Jewelry, the fine jewelry brand recognized for bold, expressive design, announces a new collaboration with globally acclaimed fashion designer Sergio Hudson. The Simone I. Smith Jewelry x Sergio Hudson collection will feature 28 distinctive pieces, each reflecting the shared creative vision and design sensibility of both brands.

Rooted in heritage and innovation, the collection draws from Simone's lifelong passion for iconic hoops, sculptural silhouettes, and symbolic forms. The designs are influenced by Black culture and diasporic design traditions, including geometric shapes and sacred motifs from the Akan people of Ghana. Bold patterning and dimensional textures reference how traditional adornment continues to inform contemporary jewelry design.

Each piece is crafted in 18K yellow gold over sterling silver and showcases brilliant simulated diamonds. Select styles incorporate carved mother–of–pearl or onyx inlays, as well as cultured freshwater pearls. From statement necklaces to sculptural earrings, the collection balances strength and refinement through elevated craftsmanship and modern form.

"This collaboration is rooted in spirituality and heritage. Together, we selected powerful Adinkra symbols from the Akan people of Ghana — sacred emblems that represent God's protection, abundance, and patience," say Simone I. Smith and Sergio Hudson. "Each piece is designed to feel regal and refined, infused with a subtle vintage soul. Unveiled in celebration of the 10–year anniversary of the Sergio Hudson Fashion House during New York Fashion Week and Black History Month, this collection reflects a rare, meaningful alignment — a true meeting of legacy, intention, and artistry."

The Simone I. Smith Jewelry x Sergio Hudson collection reinterprets African–inspired elements through a contemporary lens, honoring tradition while offering a modern expression of design.

The Simone I. Smith Jewelry x Sergio Hudson collection is available for purchase exclusively at simoneismith.com, with prices ranging from $799.95 to $4,999.95. For more information, visit simoneismith.com.
