Sulusso, the best online source for sustainable designer jewelry, will be the exclusive online retailer of Okomido jewelry.
“I am so pleased to be partnering with Sulusso to sell our jewelry. Sulusso shares our deep commitment for social and environmental responsibility, so it seemed like a natural fit,” said Midori Wayne Ferris, Okomido designer and founder.
Okomido was conceived from the idea that the jewelry we wear reflects our values. Now more than ever, it is apparent that consumers are seeking products that demonstrate a connection to the earth and its inhabitants.
The company’s commitment to sustainability and eco-conscious design, translates into no new mining. Without exception, all the materials used in the Okomido jewelry are completely reclaimed, from sterling silver and 18 karat gold to vintage gemstones resurrected from antique jewelry.
Painstakingly hand-crafted by artisans in Sonoma County, California, every piece of Okomido has a history, incorporating vintage elements that contain their own stories of wearers past. This historical connection brings additional meaning to the collection and provides yet another reason to treasure the jewelry for future generations.
About the Designer
Midori, which means “green” in Japanese, grew up in Pondicherry, India and California. While working at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, she was inspired to collect antique and vintage jewelry. From there she developed a successful practice of creating one-of-a-kind pieces for specific clients. Her passion for history and environmental stewardship coupled with her love of art eventually led her to developing Okomido.
