Maxi Cala Earrings
These are the earrings you wear when you want people to think you’re effortlessly cool, but also vaguely philosophical about jewelry.
What It Is:
The Maxi Cala Earrings are handcrafted in Kenya from brass using traditional techniques—so yes, they’re artisan-made, but they’re also structurally modern. At 2.2 inches long, they feature a distinctive drop silhouette with a fringe-like effect that moves just enough to suggest you didn’t overthink this (even though you absolutely did). SOKO designed them to be playful and sophisticated, which is basically code for “you can wear them with jeans or at a wedding and no one will question your choice.”
Why You’ll Actually Wear Them:
Because dangle earrings are essentially performance art for your jawline. These are bold without being cartoonishly oversized, light enough for all-day wear, and versatile enough to work with whatever version of yourself you’re projecting today—minimalist, maximalist, or “I bought these because they were handcrafted and now I’m invested in ethical consumerism.”

About the brand: SOKO
SOKO is the kind of jewelry brand that makes you reconsider what it means to be “conscious” while still looking effortlessly cool. They take centuries-old Kenyan metalworking techniques, combine them with a mobile-driven business model, and somehow make it feel like both high design and low-key rebellion. The artisans get fair pay, access to global markets, and the chance to build sustainable livelihoods, which—let’s be honest—is a more compelling story than most luxury brands’ origin myths. Every piece is made from responsibly sourced or recycled materials, meaning your earrings or bracelet aren’t just adornments—they’re small but tangible proof that capitalism can occasionally be ethical, and that style and social impact can coexist without trying too hard.
