Working for publications such as Essence, Unique New York, and The Village Voice, from the late 1970s onward, Simpson covered New York's art and fashion scenes, producing portraits of a wide range of Black artists, literary figures, and celebrities. Her iconic jewelry, the Black Cameo, has been worn by everyone from the model Iman to civil-rights leader Rosa Parks.

It's with a very heavy heart that I share some devastating news - my studio has been broken into over the Easter (weekend). Decades of work have been taken: original jewellery, including one of a kind legacy pieces, prototypes, and the full creative development of my upcoming collection. This is more than a theft - it's the loss of a lifetime's creative journey.
"[Pandora] is a really fun jewelry brand to collaborate with. It caters to the young and the old, and it's not too serious, which I really like. I love that you can personalize [the pieces] and make them your own."
