This Jewelry Designer Uses Statement Earrings to Tell Stories

Even the pieces Goodwin has created for celebrities have been filled with rich context Perhaps the most famous example is the pair of earrings she designed for Indya Moore last year that served as a statement of solidarity with trans women across America The drop earrings featured eight small picture frames on each side, with a photo of a Black trans woman who had been murdered that year in each frame.

"I had been aware of how many murders were happening to Black trans women in America," Goodwin says of the design "It was 8 frames long per earring, and I warned that 16 frames would be very heavy But they told me that it's heavy physically-but it's also heavy spiritually and mentally" Goodwin's earrings were also featured in Beyoncé's Black Is King video earlier this year, which celebrated and uplifted an array of Black designers.

Going forward, Goodwin will continue using her works as a medium to ignite conversations and push forward good intentions. . Source
