ABOUT THE JOURNEY…

At The Ancient Future and Beyond, artistry, culture, and timeless design come together under the creative vision of Shushan Kedem, internationally known as Baba G. A two-time Oscar Award-winning jewelry designer and acclaimed jeweler to the stars, Baba G has spent decades creating distinctive jewelry and accessories that blend organic metals, holistic inspiration, and global cultural influences. His extraordinary work has adorned renowned artists and icons including Erykah Badu, André 3000, India Arie, Iman, Fantasia, and Angela Bassett, among many others.

A world traveler, creative visionary, and cultural storyteller, Baba G draws inspiration from his journeys across continents and his deep appreciation for ancestral craftsmanship. During an international expedition nearly two decades ago, he discovered the inspiration that would shape some of his most celebrated creations. Working alongside one of Africa's master jewelers, he helped develop signature pieces that would later be worn by Angela Bassett and members of the cast of Black Panther, bringing authentic cultural artistry to one of the most iconic cinematic worlds of our time.

Today, Baba G leads The Ancient Future and Beyond, an international design house dedicated to creating meaningful, handcrafted jewelry that honors heritage while embracing innovation. Every piece reflects a commitment to excellence, craftsmanship, and storytelling—bridging the wisdom of the past with the possibilities of the future. Through wearable art, Baba G continues to inspire collectors, creatives, and visionaries around the world with designs that celebrate beauty, culture, and legacy.

Baba G currently sits at the helm of an international design company, The Ancient Futures and Beyond, founded in 2004, a thriving corporation since 2011.
