The Arts Mean Business Speaker Series: Zameer Kassam

With a background as unique as the jewelry he designs, including time at McKinsey & Company, Harvard Business School, and De Beers Louis Vuitton, Zameer Kassam has emerged as one of the global jewelry industry’s most innovative thinkers and artists. Through every iteration of his career, one thing has remained constant: his passion for storytelling.

The true antithesis of the traditional jewelry industry, Zameer Kassam Fine Jewelry tells the stories of people, their families, and their relationships within the design of every piece of fine jewelry. Each project entails many weeks of interviews, research and production iterations before the piece of jewelry is complete.

In 2018, Zameer designed the #TimesUp ring, worn by Ashley Judd at the Oscars.  His designs were worn by the cast of Crazy Rich Asians and he designed the Wakanda Forever ring worn by its lead actress Lupita Nyong’o in Black Panther.
