AOKO SU: FERTILE CRESCENT INSPIRED DESIGN  

AOKO SU, an American jewelry brand created by Ashley Jerman features inspired by nature and ancient Mesopotamia, with a fresh perspective. With pieces predominantly in gold, Jerman’s designs are perfect complement to the summer’s sun burnished tan and plunging neckline. The designer’s world travels reflect her design aesthetic, and she employs both material and form to mimic the natural environments around her. Common elements include geometric shapes, small simple stones and thin chains—graceful, elegant and perfect for an evening out.

AOKO SU jewelry draws from the Modernist and ancient Mesopotamian traditions most evident in her arresting Fertile Crescent collection. Each piece reflects the fine lines, abrupt angles and simplistic finishes of these periods.  All AOKO SU designs are hand forged at Jerman’s studio in Virgina. Select styles in boutiques across the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia. Prices range from $60 to $300. So, be one with nature and let your daily bling to reflect it.
