Ethos
To walk in Beauty.
Our pieces are made to inspire you to move through the world, from an empowered place of your own personal authenticity and truth. We believe in living a harmonious, intuitive, inspired & passionate lifestyle... in doing everything possible to work toward global healing & restoration, and in the strengthening and remembering of our awareness of the beauty and wonder of life.
We are lovers of the earth and all of her magic.
Catori Life is a woman owned, philanthropic business with the hope to be an example of how an organization can be led with mindfulness. At the center of all of our work is an ethos of care, compassion, and consideration of people, resources and the planet.
To create the healthy culture we aspire to, we strive to honor the beautiful wild earth that is our home, acknowledging that sustainable practice in business is essential for ensuring integrity and a bountiful future. We are committed to taking responsibility and contributing to global healing.
Our hope and goal is that the positive impact we create outweighs any footprint that we may leave and that Catori can breathe inspiration and beauty into the lives of our customers and employees.
Mindfully Made.
Catori Life Jewelry is made in the USA using ethically sourced and reclaimed materials. Considering the entire production line and everyone involved from start to finish, we create your product with diligent care, love and respect.
We continuously challenge ourselves, refining our business in alignment with our principles. This means regularly bettering our material sourcing, from the jewelry itself to our shipping and packaging. Our packing and mailers are made with recycled and eco-conscious materials and any plastic used are biodegradable or compostable.
Once your jewelry has arrived you may wish to reuse the shipping box as a place for keeping notes, intentions or memories, working with the power of your piece in your own personal ritual.
Being truly sustainable is a virtue no one has yet mastered, however we will continue to work towards a world where sustainable practice is the norm.
Fair Wages.
We deeply value our employees and believe in openness and honesty. We aim to lead by example, showing that slow fashion can transform how businesses operate, with fairness at the core and abundance for all those involved. Unlike fast fashion outlets that try to cut corners wherever possible, we offer generous and fair wages to all of our employees.
“It’s not by accident that the pristine wilderness of our planet disappears as the understanding of our inner wild nature fades.”
- Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Causes We Support.
We work with various grassroots organizations for the betterment of our world on as many levels as we can. We hope that as we grow our donations can make a very significant impact in the overall healing of the environment and in society.

For The Wild
Focused on land-based protection, co-liberation and intersectional storytelling rooted in a paradigm shift away from human supremacy, endless growth and consumerism.
For The Wild is a progressive media organization and nonprofit that emerged in 2014 from a deep sense of discomfort with the status quo and the yearning to both find what existed outside of dominant culture and consumer conditioning. For The Wild’s founder felt called to take a vow of commitment to the more-than-human world and this work is an extension of that calling.
