Beautiful, ethical and sustainable.......doesn't get much better then that! I absolutely love the combination of the natural materials with the metals and glass! These feel like forever pieces to me.....things that I would wear for years to come and then scold Carson for stealing out of the jewelry box.

KORA merges the worlds of the luxury consumer market and sustainable business development so that both may benefit from the unique offerings of the other. Our handmade pieces feature recyled materials found and used by local artisans in African developing communities.

Materials include:

Ankole Cow Horn. Rescued horn from local butcheries that would otherwise be discarded.
Aluminum. 100% recycled and cast from old car parts and cooking pots.
Brass. Created using repurposed industrial brass wire.
Glass. 100% recycled.
Bone: Carved from discarded cow bone.

Beautiful baubles for the holidays! I'm kind of obsessed with the gorgeous stones set in more rustic metal work! It feels like a modern version of the costume jewels I have of my grandmothers. The combination of precious and semi precious stones is amazing!

Nak Armstrong was the creative force behind the CFDA Award Winning and Austin based jewelry line Anthony Nak. Sadly they closed their doors a few years ago. Their jewelry was incredibly beautiful!

I'm so excited that Nak Armstrong is designing again!

  • 1920's Paris

Wow! Really Gorgeous, right?!
