About the Item

Zuri Perle jewels not only take you on a journey of discovering and experiencing the past, but also opens the door to a new and exciting interpretation of Africa in the here and now. My name is Atinuke Adeleke and I am the Owner and Lead Designer at Zuri Perle. I moved to the United States in 2009 to be with my husband, pregnant and unable to work due to my visa status, I stumbled upon jewelry making as a means to supplement my family income. I took my first jewelry making class during one of my trips back to Nigeria and fell in love with the process of handcrafting wearable artisan pieces. I initially created the brand to cater to African brides and grooms looking for traditional African jewelry here in the United States, but I have since expanded the brand to incorporate a balance of my Nigerian traditional aesthetic and western experience, which includes CAD and 3D printing. I'm also inspired by people and the hybridization of cultures. I pull from my Nigerian culture of using jewelry as a form of art, adornment and clothing to create limited edition jewelry and accessories I'm currently pursuing a Masters in Studio Art at the University of North Texas. I am an alumni of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and a member of the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG). All pieces are handcrafted in my Studio in Dallas, Texas and my mission is to provide you with African inspired accessories that you will proudly wear for years to come. I strive to exceed my clients' expectations in quality and service and I look forward to serving you. A percentage of the proceeds, from the sale of pieces from the “IYUN” collection, will be donated to help in the replanting efforts of the Florida reef tract. — This piece is part of the NYCJW HERE WE ARE Marketplace.
