About Coco Loco

At Coco Loco Jewelry, we believe that jewelry should tell a story—one of culture, craftsmanship, and connection. Specializing in hand-carved and handcrafted jewelry, we work with natural, sustainable materials such as coconut, exotic hardwoods, shell, horn, and bone, alongside a stunning collection of brass and silver designs.

Rooted in traditions from around the world, our jewelry honors ancient tribal artistry while seamlessly blending with modern styles. We proudly collaborate with over 50 artisans globally, ensuring not only fair wages but also direct, personal partnerships that uplift communities and preserve craftsmanship. Our commitment goes beyond fair trade—we prioritize sustainability, using recycled, salvaged, and ethically sourced materials to minimize our environmental impact.

For many, our jewelry is more than adornment—it’s a symbol of journey and connection. Inspired by cultures past and present, our pieces travel the world, sparking conversations, forging bonds, and carrying the spirit of adventure.

To those who wear our designs, share their stories, and support our mission—thank you. May your path be filled with peace, and may you always find kindred spirits along the way.

The faithful never stand alone. Peace will gather. Our doorsteps are only footsteps away. We are all connected.

        Mudana joined the Coco Loco team 5 years ago working part time.  We were so impressed with the attention to balance and symmetry in his work that we asked him if he would join full time.  He is the artist who brings to you designs such as the "famous" Eternity Spirals, the Asalah Twists and Angel Wing earrings.  Always in a good mood and always working closely to his cousin Wayan Pongek, Mudanas spirit is seen in every piece he creates.  Mudana, born and raised in Indonesia, is 36 years old, married, and the father to a gorgeous little girl named Putu.

        Jagras joy for carving is only matched by his love for reggae music.  Jagra can commonly be found carving away in comfort with the rhythms of Alpha Blondy and Bob Marley playing in the backround.  Although he looks young, his eyes speak experience.  Jagra is 40 years old, married and is the father to three beautiful girls.  He has been working with Coco Loco for 5 years and is the architect behind intricate designs such as the Floral Swans and Bridal Curls.  Always in a good mood, Jagra is a joyous person to work with and be around.  He is a humble guide to many young novice carvers, even though he probably doesn't realize it.  Thank you Jagra for all the laughter and fun you bring with you everywhere you go.

        Originally from the North, where good education and good work are hard to find, Pekak has lived with Komang for 7 years.  In that time, Komang has taught him the art of carving and therefore given him a skill that has helped build his future.  Like a brother to us, Pekak is somewhat of an assistant manager and takes his work very seriously.  From cutting, to carving, to polishing, he knows every aspect of our production and has become Komang's right hand man.  Twenty-eight years old and always wearing a smile, Pekak recently got married in late December. Congratulations!!!
        Thank you Pekak for your hard work and dedication.
