XOLO Jewelry
Established in 2019 by designer Takehiro Doko, XOLO is a contemporary jewelry brand rooted in the silversmithing heritage of Taxco, Mexico. With creative direction and design based in Japan, the brand balances historical influence with a forward-looking approach to ornamentation.
That balance is reflected in its name, derived from the Xoloitzcuintli dog, a native Mexican breed renowned for its elegance and cultural significance. XOLO carries this legacy forward with jewelry that is sculptural, enduring, and intentionally crafted.
Built on Lineage
XOLO is deeply rooted in the silversmithing tradition of Taxco, Mexico, one of the world’s oldest and most respected silver-producing regions. Since the silver rush of the Spanish colonial period, Taxco has remained a global center for handmade jewelry, where refined craftsmanship is passed down through generations.
Honoring this legacy, XOLO draws from traditional manufacturing methods while challenging itself with new forms and techniques suited to the modern era. Each piece reflects a balance of heritage and innovation, crafted to carry the integrity of handmade work into the present.
Material Integrity
XOLO creates simple, original jewelry with a focus on quality, tactility, and intention. Each piece is crafted from 925 sterling silver, with select styles finished in 24K gold plating to enhance depth and patina over time. The brand works exclusively with natural stones, chosen for their unique characteristics and sense of permanence, consciously avoiding synthetic alternatives.
Crafted for Continuity
Every XOLO design carries a sense of weight and presence, refined through craftsmanship and grounded in everyday wearability. The result is a considered collection that balances tradition with modern relevance, offering pieces that evolve with the wearer and speak to a deeper appreciation of material and form.
