Ethical embroidered jewelry that respects people, the environment, and society
Traditional jewelry materials, gold and gemstones, often come from harsh working conditions involving exploitation, child labor, and significant environmental impact. ARRO chooses recycled polyester as its primary material, machine embroidered in a factory in Japan and then hand finished for a three-dimensional effect. This process reflects a commitment to social and environmental care and ethical practices.
Inclusive jewelry inspired by a fantasy paradise
We offer jewelry that allows all customers to freely express themselves, beyond traditional categories such as gender. Each piece is bold and flamboyant, yet extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. This design philosophy allows for comfortable everyday wear and extended wear. This makes our jewelry truly accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Unique and thoughtful design
Our unique designs accentuate individuality and enhance the wearer's sense of style and personal expression.
The creative process is similar to tailoring a garment, with patterns being made and repeated trial and error leading to the final design.
By computer programming traditional embroidery techniques, we have evolved these into a contemporary approach, further setting our designs apart in the contemporary jewellery landscape.
