Zulaikha Aziz from Mazahri jewelry
A thousand facets sits with Zulaikha Aziz from Mazahri jewelry, they speak about her childhood, her decision to be a humans rights lawyer and how her travels made her decided to work in the jewelry world in a more responsible way. About: Mazahri is a purpose driven conscious fine jewelry company founded on the principle that business can and should be a force for good in the world. At Mazahri we believe that jewelry should not only be used to adorn, empower and celebrate the wearer but also the people involved in each step of its creation and the planet as a whole. We seek to share the beauty and magic of Afghan culture through the unique stories each of our pieces tell. Mazahri was born out of founder Zulaikha Aziz’s personal story as a refugee from Afghanistan and her work as a human rights attorney. Zulaikha’s love of jewelry and colored gemstones is grounded in her heritage and ancestry. Fleeing war, her family was forced to leave everything behind, save for some items they could carry including ancestral jewelry her grandmother rescued. These deeply meaningful pieces helped her connect to her ancestors and her heritage, gaining strength from their stories and in turn, forging her own unique path. The pieces she creates through Mazahri are intended to inspire that same strength and connection. They are modern day heirlooms imbued with meaning and heart made with love and the intention to tell diverse stories, celebrate nature and humanity, and be passed down and cherished for generations to come. Her work on issues related to women's rights, racial and religious discrimination, abuses related to conflict and access to justice in Afghanistan and diverse communities around the world inspired her to merge her passion for human rights and women's empowerment with her love of ancient Afghan jewelry in creating Mazahri, named in honor of her grandmother. In addition to Mazahri, Zulaikha continues her legal advocacy, research and scholarship. Mazahri is incorporated as a benefit corporation in California and follows a human rights-based approach using only ethically and sustainably sourced materials and processes and ensures the empowerment of women throughout its work from design to delivery. As a business founded by a woman of color, Mazahri is committed to measurable diversity, equity and inclusivity in both its operations as well as the greater jewelry industry. Mazahri believes in transparency and accountability and is committed to effectively documenting and sharing the real impact of all its actions.

Daphne Krinos
A thousand facets sits with Daphne Krinos, they talk about her childhood in Greece, her love for typography and how she found jewelry. She'll be on Week two of Goldsmith's fair. About: Fine jeweller Daphne Krinos is known for her bold and architectural designs. Creating unique, one-off pieces entirely by hand, she works with recycled gold, black oxidised silver and precious gemstones. Originally from Greece, Daphne established her studio in London in the early 1980s. Her distinctive work has captured a broad and loyal following, from collectors to artists, architects and lawyers. Daphne’s pieces can be found in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Goldsmiths Company and the Crafts Council amongst others. Daphne’s sculptural jewellery is instantly recognisable, defined by bold use of colour, form, shape and texture. Graphic lines of black oxidised silver offset vivid translucent stones, dramatic articulated or layered compositions combine angular, geometric forms in a mixture of metals. Daphne’s playful character shines throughout the work; every piece displaying fresh ideas and exploring processes. Beyond running her own studio, Daphne was one of the managers of Studio Fusion Gallery for several years and was also a founding member of the COSMIMA Collective who held annual shows since 2005 for over 15 years and were dedicated to promoting the work of many upcoming and established makers. She strongly believes in nurturing and helping younger talented makers and continues to organise curated exhibitions or possible collaborations.

Karen Cheung from Kerchung!
A thousand facets sits with Karen Cheung from Kerchung! They talked about her background in animation, how she found her voice through porcelain and how her work is a statement! About: Kerchung! is the brain child and brand of Karen Cheung - illustrator, animator, artist and all round angry woman. Her work centres around saying what you think, speaking the truth, supporting the less privileged and fighting the good fight against hatred. Mental health, reproductive rights, racial justice and women’s rights are just some of the causes that Karen is passionate about and supports through her work. Each piece of Kerchung jewellery is carefully crafted by hand, infused with tongue-in-cheek humour and laced with a vicious edge. Porcelain clay is wrestled into shape, fired and sanded, decorated by the most patient hands, glazed and fired again. Those with 22k gold lustre detail are decorated and fired a third time, making each piece a labour of love and one of a kind. Slight imperfections are part of the charm of this collection, and reflect the handmade nature of our products. We also now offer a line of fine jewellery options in sterling silver and solid gold, as well as some fun gift items such as t-shirts and prints. Karen is assisted in everyday studio work and the making of the ceramic pieces by wonderful Chantal Rush, who herself is a ceramicist and all round super human being.
