Amid whisperings of her upcoming 2026 album, reportedly titled Westside Whimsy, Jhené Aiko dropped a collection of fine jewelry in collaboration with Awe Inspired.
While we patiently wait for more information on her new music, fans and followers can browse the singer’s new collection, all inspired by the whimsy that Aiko finds from her birthplace of Los Angeles. “This collection is all about the magical history and undeniable whimsy of the place I’ve been honored to call my home since birth — California,” said Aiko in a press release from Awe Inspired.
A quick browse through the jewelry offerings and you’ll see what Aiko is talking about when it comes to whimsy. The line, which is available to purchase on Awe Inspired’s website, features around 24 pieces, including a few Damselfly-themed pearl items along with saber-tooth-inspired pendants and rings with evil eye motifs. You’ll see this blending of spirituality with unique and almost fairytale-like aesthetic.
Some of our favorites from the multi-piece collection include the Evil Eye Scent Diffuser Ring for $245. The ring looks pretty standard on the outside, a sterling silver construction with a carved evil eye motif on the top, but a secret is hidden inside. For those who aren’t too tapped into the spiritual world, an evil eye is meant to protect the wearer from negative energy, jealousy or bad luck. When you open up the ring, you’ll find a porous black volcanic rock inside. Users are encouraged to dab a bit of essential oils or perfume on the rock. The rock’s porous nature will allow whatever you put on it to soak in, meaning the scent you choose will linger for hours on end. Jewelry that also functions as a diffuser? We can get behind that 100%.
Another favorite is the Metamorphic Damselfly Pearl Earrings for $165. You can choose to buy a single earring for stacking or a pair for $325. Aiko is wearing the pink/lavender style throughout the campaign images. The earrings are comprised of a string of lavender pearls with a damselfly motif on top, where you’d put the earring in your ear. The insect is meant to symbolize transformation, purity and protection for spiritual folks. That’s likely why the damselfly can be seen throughout the collection. That would also explain the “metamorphic” moniker. We like this style because of how well it dangles and moves, especially when worn with other studs or hoops. We’d wear these with other earrings rather than solo for a fun textural moment.
Aiko released new music in 2025, including the single “Break” and her EP i am not afraid (creation mantra). Fans have been eagerly awaiting more music from the star, which is why Westside Whimsy is such a big deal. Aiko first teased the 2026 album via her Instagram Story in January. Additionally, the R&B singer partnered with Erewhon Market to launch “The Westside Whimsy” smoothie, a limited-time beverage that was also launched in January of this year at the brand’s Tonic Bar.
