Monah Earrings

$41.00 at Brooklyn Museum.

The Edas Monah earrings are handmade by Mims in her Brooklyn studio with an all-female team using vintage materials (brass and wood beads). Like many of Mims' designs, the earrings are inspired by the culture of her West Indian community in the Bed-Stuy neighborhood. Mims likes using brass because "it will inevitably get old over time, but you can always restore it to its original condition with just water and soap or a polishing cloth."
