Timeless Forms: AGMES Shapes a New Kind of Heirloom

Refined shapes handcrafted in New York City are designed for a lifetime of wear.

There’s a quiet strength in restraint. At AGMES, shape and substance are never in conflict; each piece is distilled to its essence, balancing structure with softness, art with intention.

Since 2016, the New York-based studio has built a visual language rooted in sculpture and sustainability. Its latest pendants, cuffs, and earrings take cues from modernist masters like Barbara Hepworth, Man Ray, and Alberto Giacometti, yet speak with a vocabulary all their own. Thick silver curves hang from whisper-thin cords. A single polished form becomes a point of calm on the body.

One standout: the Bodmer Pendant, a fluid silhouette made in collaboration with sculptor Simone Bodmer-Turner. Tactile and timeless, it exemplifies AGMES’s commitment to essential forms and enduring craftsmanship.

Each piece is handmade to order by a small team of jewelers in New York, using recycled sterling silver and 18-karat gold vermeil. The process is slow and intentional, built to last through years of wear and memory.

AGMES shapes heirlooms: pieces that feel personal from the beginning, and only grow more meaningful with time.
