Jo Wood Launches on Pearls & Pomegranates
British jewellery designer Jo Wood, founder of Jo Wood Jewellery, explores the human experience and relationship with nature through Earth casting, the experimental casting technique used to create each piece in her debut collection, ‘Touch the Earth’.
Jo first conceptualised an instinctual connection with nature as part of the human condition when she spent time living on a farm in North Devon. There, her perspective changed as she walked barefoot across the land and felt a melding of physical, emotional, and spiritual connections to the Earth. It was then that she developed the technique of Earth casting-pouring molten metal onto the surface of the planet, capturing energy and movement, and creating unpredictable organic forms.
“I make jewellery because I am drawn to its glamour and opulence,” says Jo, “and because human connection to jewellery is as deep rooted as our connection to nature.”
Every piece of handcrafted jewellery by Jo Wood is unique; while they often relate to each other, no Jo Wood jewellery piece is the same as another.

We conserve 20 square metres of Colombian rainforest for every order
When building the idea for Pearls & Pomegranates, Natalia was keen to use the business as a platform for change. Her mother is Colombian and so creating a positive impact in her country of heritage is central to this objective. With this in mind, Pearls & Pomegranates hopes to conserve areas of the Colombian rainforest in partnership with Bioconservancy, a research and conversation organisation that operates in the cloud forests of the western Andes.
