About i

 

Husnijan

i Jewelry was inspired by Husnijan, known lovingly as i, meaning mother; a name that carried warmth, wisdom, and strength. She was my grandmother, the woman who taught me that resilience can be gentle, and kindness can be powerful.Born and raised in a deeply male-dominated village, i defied every boundary set before her. She spoke up for herself and others with such courage that even men admired her. She became a voice of respect, leadership, and compassion; known across her community for her bravery, fairness, and heart.

Married at thirteen, she built bridges where others saw walls. She raised ten children, taught over a hundred young girls to weave, resolved disputes, and built a mosque so her faith could serve others. Her kindness made her beloved; her courage made her unforgettable.

i loved jewelry not for luxury but for meaning. Gold and gemstones were her symbols of strength, each stone carrying a story, each design reflecting her soul. Villagers would bring her precious stones, saying, “This is for Husnijan,” knowing she would turn them into something radiant and timeless.

I called her i. The strength I carry, the fire I rise from, and the gold I become are all because of her.

i Jewelry was born from her legacy and from the soul of Afghan women who, though they walk through fire, always come out gold.
