About JO&LYD
Independent by design. Global by choice.
“Start small. Build with care. Let the work travel farther than you do.”
— Pantelis Chatzigeorgiou, Founder of JO&LYD
Founded in Stockholm in 2012, JO&LYD is a Scandinavian-born, global luxury jewelry brand dedicated to refined materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and independent talent. We work primarily in 925 sterling silver, saltwater & freshwater pearls, and carefully chosen gemstones, creating pieces that feel calm, modern, and made to last. What began in a small Swedish apartment is now worn across Europe, North America, and the Middle East—yet our guiding principle remains unchanged: jewelry with meaning and lasting value.
Our Philosophy: Discreet Luxury
Luxury doesn’t shout; it’s recognized in the details. The cool brightness of sterling silver keeps its polish. The organic luster of a freshwater pearl. A clasp that closes with a precise click and keeps its promise. At JO&LYD, we design and curate with restraint—clean lines, balanced proportions, and silhouettes that sit beautifully on the body. Our pieces move easily from morning to evening, from understated minimalism to statement moments, and from one season to the next.
-
Reliability: We use honest materials, clear descriptions, and a repeatable quality review, so what you see online is exactly what arrives at your door.
-
Quality: Small-batch production and meticulous finishing ensure both performance and character are protected.
-
Uniqueness: We partner with independent designers whose voices and techniques are worth collecting.
Scandinavian Roots, Worldwide Reach
JO&LYD was born in Stockholm. The clarity, restraint, and function-first mindset of Scandinavian design shape everything we do—from our typography to our packaging and our product architecture. At the same time, JO&LYD is unambiguously global. We ship worldwide, collaborate across continents, and pay close attention to how people wear jewelry in real life. This international perspective keeps our collections fresh yet timeless, equally at home in a white shirt on a workday or an evening in black silk.
About JO&LYD: A Unique Blend of Craftsmanship and Design
Materials & Craft: 925 Sterling Silver, Pearls & Gemstones
Words like “quality” are only helpful if they’re specific. We specify.
-
925 Sterling Silver: Hypoallergenic and strong, with a luminous finish. We polish to a mirror sheen or a soft satin, depending on the design, and plate when appropriate to protect the surface.
-
Pearls: We use both saltwater and freshwater pearls, chosen for their glow, surface, and shape. Every pearl is hand-matched to its partner for symmetry without losing its natural character.
-
Gemstones: We select stones based on their clarity, color, and durability, favoring cuts that maximize light and preserve their integrity.
-
Construction: Settings are tested for strength. Edges are smoothed for comfort. Chains are adjustable for a precise fit across necklines and layers.
Before any piece appears online, it undergoes hands-on inspection, including weight and balance, movement on the skin, and how it layers with a collar or rests against knit fabric. Only then does it become JO&LYD.
Signature Moments
Milestones don’t define a brand—people do—but some moments confirm the path. Our jewelry has appeared on screen through collaborations with Paramount Pictures, carrying independent design into major productions. We were featured in British Vogue, where editors and readers responded to the brand’s quiet approach to luxury. These acknowledgments matter not as trophies but as proof of concept: beautifully made pieces from independent voices deserve a larger stage.
Everyday Luxury: Made to Be Worn
Jewelry is intimate. It rests on your skin and moves through your day. That’s why we obsess over wearability: smooth edges that never snag, secure closures, whisper-light earrings that won’t tire the lobe, bracelets that don’t fight the sleeve. We design adjustable chains to find the perfect line at the collarbone—and we test every piece with real garments, not just in a studio.
The result is everyday luxury: pieces that elevate a simple white shirt at 9 a.m. and still look right at 9 p.m.; jewelry that layers intuitively and feels like it has always been a part of you.
A Platform for Independent Talent
JO&LYD began as a home for independent designers and remains one. We scout emerging voices, review work hands-on, and collaborate transparently—from design development to storytelling and photography. Many of our partners produce in limited runs; this keeps quality high and footprints considered. If you are a designer, maker, or photographer with a distinctive point of view, JO&LYD is a place to grow.
The Experience: Service Is Part of the Luxury
Exceptional design deserves exceptional service. We commit to:
-
Clear product pages with accurate, color-true photography and exact measurements.
-
Knowledgeable support from people who understand materials and fit.
-
Fair policies, worldwide shipping, and timely, trackable delivery.
-
A care guide to help your jewelry age with grace.
-
Presentation-ready packaging that makes gifting effortless.
We listen—to compliments and to criticism—because reliability here is not a slogan; it’s a set of daily habits.
Sustainability, Sensibly
We believe in responsibility without theater. Limited runs reduce over-production. Durable materials extend product life. Reusable packaging and efficient logistics cut waste where it matters. Jewelry with longevity is, by definition, more responsible.
Our Promise
We don’t chase every trend. We select intentionally so our offering stays focused and relevant: sterling silver jewelry, pearl jewelry, and gemstone jewelry you’ll wear often, gift with confidence, and keep for years. If a piece appears on JO&LYD, it’s because we believe it brings genuine value—through craftsmanship, comfort, and character.
Founder’s Note
I started JO&LYD with a simple idea: build carefully, avoid shortcuts, and let the work speak for itself. The brand has traveled farther than I have, and that feels right. Thank you for making these pieces part of your life.

The Founder
My passion for independent fashion designers drove me to make intense research and that gave me the impetus to turn hard work and inspiration into a JO&LYD online store.
