To Walk in Beauty
"It's not by accident that the pristine wilderness of our planet disappears as the understanding of our inner wild nature fades."
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés
We are lovers of the earth and all of her magic.
Catori Life is a woman-owned, ethically made jewelry brand crafted in the USA from reclaimed and
responsibly sourced materials. At the center of all of our work is an ethos of care, compassion, and
consideration of people, resources, and the planet.
No New Metals
Our bronze, sterling silver, and solid gold are 100% reclaimed, never newly mined.
Gold is where this matters most. Gold mining tears through forests, poisons rivers, and hollows out entire landscapes. It is also one of the most exploitative industries in the world, where forced and child labor remain widespread in the mines that supply it.
There is already more gold above ground than we could ever need. So we don't buy new. Our gold is solid, never plated, SCS Global Certified recycled and traceable to its source. The same metal, the same purity, with none of the harm to the earth or to anyone.
Fair Wages, Slow Fashion
Unlike fast fashion outlets that cut corners wherever possible, Catori Life offers generous and fair wages to every employee. We aim to lead by example, showing that slow fashion can transform how businesses operate, with fairness at the core and abundance for all those involved. Considering the entire production line and everyone involved from start to finish, we create each piece with diligent care, love, and respect.
Every order removes 1 pound of plastic from our waters.
Our partnership with 4ocean is a collaborative ripple. It is our way of giving back to the elements that heal us. Every time you choose a piece of hand-formed jewelry from our studio, you are directly funding the physical extraction of 1 pound of waste from the sea.
Together, we are pulling the weight of modern indifference out of the water and leaving room for the wild to return.
