What is AGMES?
AGMES is an American jewellery label based in New York, founded by sisters Morgan Solomon and Jaclyn Solomon. The founders set out to create what they call modern heirlooms: jewellery with geometric shapes and clean lines that is meant to be worn and kept for years.
Products and positioning
The collections include earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets with a sculptural, minimalist look. The design language draws on modernist art and design, architecture and urban settings; the Viviane earrings, for instance, nod to a sculpture by Alberto Giacometti. Pieces such as the Gabriela bangle show the brand's bold, rounded forms.
- Sculptural earrings and rings
- Bangles and cuffs
- Necklaces and bracelets

Each piece is handmade by artisans in New York, and almost all pieces use recycled materials. Working with local makers is part of how the brand aims to keep its environmental footprint small.
Distribution
AGMES sells through its own online store and through selected retailers, including the luxury e-commerce platform SSENSE.
Why it matters
AGMES is part of a generation of independent fine fashion jewellery labels that pair design-led minimalism with local manufacturing and recycled metals, a combination increasingly sought by premium retailers.
