About Xander Kostroma

Xander uses semi-precious stones, elements of wood & rattan in his work. He finishes his jewellery with either 925 Sterling Silver or 14k gold plated components. All the jewellery he produces is nickel-free. (He is also allergic!) The brand, after his own name, Xander Kostroma® launched in the Fall of 2018, is now stocked in over 550+ independent boutiques worldwide and is also exclusively available online from British retailers Freemans.com & Lookagain.co.uk. Xander is based in Lisbon, Portugal and it's from his home studio that all styles are initially created. Once a design is finalized, the sample for production is recorded digitally and emailed Lydia who is Head of Jewellery Production and is based in Handan City, China. It’s from Lydia's studio, with the help of her two assistants; Lily & Pinna that all jewellery production is carried out. The women, led by Lydia’s expertise, hand-make all pieces of jewellery including suncatchers for the brand. Once production is finished, the goods are shipped to Swansea, Wales where the goods are received into the warehouse. It’s from this location that all orders are picked, lovingly packed and shipped out globally. Last of all, Amy the in-house model shoots from around her home and garden in Northamptonshire, England while Ria, the second photographer captures the lifestyle images at her studio in Norfolk, England. The brand is carbon neutral planting 1 tree for every unit sold - offsetting production C02 emissions.Read their story
