Within prevailing art historical discourse, contemporary African jewelry remains overlooked, primarily constructed as a craftwork supplementary to dress. In the specific context of Africa, broad perceptions of bodily adornment are often filtered through a Eurocentric lens, characterized by tendencies towards exoticization and fetishization. Consequently, contemporary African jewelry design remains largely unexplored in art historical scholarship and the broader domain of fashion design. Through an examination of works by Emefa Cole and Ami Doshi Shah, I demonstrate how their use of sticky materials, referential designs, and diverse display methods transcend such conventional categorizations. By positioning their art as fertile ground for exploring critical theoretical frameworks such as Afrofuturism, this thesis highlights a more extensive void in current art historical discourse and advocates for a renewed emphasis on jewelry as an autonomous art form capable of enriching broader understandings of art, culture, and individual expression.
