Who We Are

African American Woman-Owned

Social Justice Jewelry was founded by Alaine Hutson and is an African American, woman-owned business based in Austin, TX. Alaine had been approached by people who made remarks that denigrate others. She wanted it to stop. Using her training as a metalsmith, she created the “Allergy” cuff and the #powerofpeace logo in 2016 as a way to let others know, like a medical alert bracelet, that social injustice is bad for your health.

Artisan Made

Social Justice Jewelry is message jewelry that is stamped, shaped, fabricated, welded, painted, and finished in house with hand tools or hand operated machinery. Sometimes sparks fly!

The Queen Bee said it so it must be true! Inspired by two of our favorite artists' work. The three pointed crown reminds us that there is power and beauty in black culture descended from African peoples. That power and beauty has been expanded on, copied, borrowed, and appropriated by cultures around the world. This one is meant to honor and acknowledge.

A 1.25" x 1" stainless steel three pointed crown plaque with BLACK IS stamped on the front and the #powerofpeace logo stamped on the back, both in black on an 18" cable chain. The crown is not removable.

#powerofpeace

The Social Justice Jewelry logo is the #powerofpeace logo. It is a hybrid of African, American, and global symbols – the inner symbol is the Adinkra Okodee Mmowere or eagle’s talon, a West African symbol for power, strength, or bravery: the outer ring is made of olive branches. The olive branch is on many US seals and is an international symbol signifying peace.
