Coreen Simpson

Coreen Simpson is an American photographer and jewelry designer whose work celebrates Black identity and self-representation. Her Black Cameo collection, introduced in 1990, reimagined the traditional cameo with portraits of Black women, bringing meaningful visibility to a familiar jewelry form. She later collaborated with Avon on the Regal Beauty Collection. Her design story makes this collection especially worth discovering: it connects personal adornment with art, cultural recognition, and the importance of seeing yourself reflected in something beautiful.
