Ilium Wing

The work of Ilium Wing designer, Ama McKinley, is a representation of an exploration of jewelry’s transformational and transcendent capabilities and its profound place in the narrative of cultures throughout history. Drawing on inclinations that she possessed from childhood, as well as her personal journey and life experiences, the collection feels almost pre-ordained, and yet Ama’s path towards making her passion her profession, while organic, was also circuitous. Originally from Chicago, Ama’s parents moved to rural Georgia, where Ama grew up in relative seclusion.
