Wearable sculpture
Rooted in the raw power of Brutalism and informed by the quiet elegance of Modernism, Oolo redefines jewellery as wearable sculpture. Each piece is handmade using age-old techniques, embracing the imperfect poetics of everyday life.
Designs emerge intuitively — sparked by a song, a conversation, a memory, a fleeting emotional moment. These influences are translated through curves, undulations, polished planes, and asymmetric forms that arise from a stream of consciousness. The result is jewellery that carries the complexity and joy of the lived experience, felt as much as it is seen.
Oolo works with materials as they are found, favouring wabi-sabi — the Japanese appreciation of impermanence, imperfection, and the beauty of age. Surfaces are relaxed rather than over-refined, allowing patina, texture, and time to become part of the story.
Rather than prescribing how jewellery should be worn, Oolo creates abstract elements that invite interpretation. Pieces can be self-assembled, layered, or styled intuitively, empowering the wearer to express their own strength, beauty, and identity. In this way, the wearer becomes a creative collaborator, completing the work through personal expression.
Ultimately, Oolo jewellery is not about adornment alone — it is about how a piece feels on the body, how it moves with you, and how it quietly affirms who you are.
Conscious Crafting
At every stage of our overall approach from the materials and techniques we use, to the people we work with and the packaging we’ve designed, it’s paramount that we’re acting in ways that are good for the planet and good for people.
We work with high-quality recycled materials wherever possible, producing jewellery in small batches to reduce waste and ensure each collection remains distinctive.
Material off-cuts are never wasted. They are repurposed into our charcoal cast pieces and transformed into limited-edition pieces that circular design and creative reuse.
We do not plate our jewellery. Instead, some collections offer 14ct gold-filled options, which are significantly more durable than plating and have a lifespan of 10–30 years with proper wear.
We believe in conserving, and as jewellery wears over time, we offer a repair service to bring back lost texture, shine or shape to ensure that your piece has longevity.
All packaging is sourced in the UK and made from recycled, vegan, and reusable materials and we always pay fair wages to employees and suppliers.
And as we are based in my home studio in East London, we bring focus to the whole experience of seeing, acquiring and preserving your jewellery.
We welcome you to come visit and see for yourself.
The Designer
Oolo is the creative practice of Lynn Harris Clark.
Originally from Houston Texas, Lynn trained as a jewellery designer and sculptor in the 1990's.
She moved to London in 2000 to study at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and has spent the past two decades immersed in art and design and material exploration.
Her career spans conceptual art, artist-book publishing, and work with clients across graphic and interior design. After having children, Lynn felt drawn back to the meditative, hands-on act of making jewellery, rediscovering the quiet focus and meaning found in working directly with material.
Oolo is the convergence of this journey: a practice rooted in intuition, craftsmanship, and the desire to create objects that hold emotional resonance.
“Jewellery is a language that doesn’t need words. It speaks volumes about who we are and what we hold dear.”
