About the artist

Imani Rayy works slowly, and with the seasons

An independent artist based in Chicago, Imani gathers raw stones, brass, seed and shell, and shapes them into jewelry meant to be lived in. Nothing is mass produced — each piece carries the mark of the hand that made it.

Her work is guided by intention: the belief that what we wear can ground us, remind us, and connect us back to the natural world.
