Xokoro captures nature's extraordinary beauty into bold, handcrafted earrings through the meditative joy of handcrafting. Jennicka Buckingham's mission is to create limited-edition, wearable art that sparks immediate joy. They explore the profound connection between natural beauty and personal expression, reconnecting both maker and wearer with slow, mindful craftsmanship.

The studio celebrates the therapeutic art of handmaking through nature-inspired designs. Handcrafted in strictly limited quantities, ensures each wearer receives a special piece. Merging modern laser cutting with traditional knotting and beading techniques, these bold statement earrings are surprisingly lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear.

"The name of my creative/studio brand is 'xokoro'. I was inspired by the Japanese word kokoro (心), which means heart, mind, and soul as one. Changing the first 'k' to an 'x' allowed me to make it distinctly mine whilst respecting the beautiful concept behind it.

All my earrings are designed and handcrafted in Surrey, where my home studio is based. Being surrounded by natural beauty provides endless inspiration for daily walks and creative exploration."
