The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2023 - Issue 34

bitemen S ince it was established 17 years ago, the pas- sion and dedication of jewellery brand Chlo- Bo have solidified its ethos of commemorating individuality's significance as the ultimate form of expression. Upon returning from the beautiful island of Bali in 2005, age 21, founder Chloe Moss trans- formed her spare bedroom into a studio and began making bracelets to reflect and encompass the heart and soul she experienced in the Indonesian province. “To this day, that same heart and soul is in the essence of ChloBo.” Inspired by Bali's soul, enchanting culture, and stun- ning silver craftsmanship, Chloe incorporated these attributes into her 925 sterling silver, 18-carat gold, and rose gold plated stacking pieces. As a designer, she finds creating valuable and meaningful jewellery essential for her clientele. “From concept to design, each piece takes inspiration from the places we vis- it and the symbolic meanings behind the charms we design.” ChloBo prides itself on providing jewellery that al- lows people to connect, relate to, and gain comfort. “We want to help create stacks that build a story, re- flect your unique journey through life and express your personality. Our jewellery is to inspire wom- en to be their best possible selves. When wearing a piece of ChloBo, we want them to feel confident and fearless.” Chloe also endeavours to share the brand’s positivity and meaningfulness through the jewellery she creates. “We want our customers to treasure something that makes their soul happy. Our sentimental and spiritual pieces [are created] to allow you to express yourself through the jewellery you wear and empower you to create a life with more meaning,” she added. “Wheth- er through our retailers, online customers or social media, we aim to reflect the strength and power we have as women and [represent] a strong female-led brand.” Renowned for its stacking bracelets, signature rings and layering necklaces, ChloBo’s core Iconics range is created for everyday inspiration, showcasing its staple pieces and timeless charm bracelets. The Bo- ho-Luxe range adds a touch of luxury from day to night, including chunky stacking bracelets and pen- dant necklaces. “If you’re looking for a pop of colour, our Mixed Metal collection is perfect.” They also launched several seasonal collections featuring more diverse, trend-led pieces. This year, the brand introduced the re-energised ChloBo Man collection that seamlessly blends con- temporary and essential styles for the everyday man. ChloBo Man is inspired by Japanese Zen Buddhism, focusing on the simple, clean and uncluttered life. It encourages men to step into a calmer world, to be guided and empowered by jewellery bursting with texture, new chains, charms and semi-precious stones such as Black Lava, Kambaba Jasper, Golden Obsidian and Tiger's Eye that last a lifetime. Black Lava is a grounding stone that connects us to the earth. It is believed to provide strength and cour- age through adversity or change. Kambaba Jasper represents wisdom and brings peace and tranquillity, allowing us to be calm as we accomplish our dreams and goals. Golden Obsidian dissolves any obstacles to manifest our dreams and desires. It also embraces our powers to reach our potential. Tiger’s Eye promotes resilience in adversity and helps us to endure physi- cally and emotionally.
