Our Story

Hi, I'm Tom, the founder and designer behind Koss Design.

Our story is deeply personal. It’s about finding the courage to chase your dreams and do what truly sets your heart alight. We took a leap of faith to make that happen.

After years in marketing, my wife, Janine, and I decided to pursue a passion we both shared—a dream I’d held since childhood: creating unique and different jewelry that empowers women to feel beautiful and feminine.

Køss Design takes its name from the Norwegian word Køs, which evokes those precious moments of well-being and harmony when everything feels perfectly in place. This philosophy inspires our French brand, founded in 2019 with a clear vision: to blend elegance and artisanal craftsmanship to create unique jewelry.

Designed in Paris, our creations are crafted with certified Miyuki Japanese beads, renowned for their finesse and timeless brilliance. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to elevate your style with a boho-chic touch, bringing softness and refinement to your everyday life.

Since our beginnings, we’ve been fortunate to serve over 50,000 customers, maintain a stellar rating of 4.8/5 on Trustpilot and 4.9/5 on Etsy, and cultivate a vibrant community of over 55,000 followers across our social media platforms.

We are also proud to offer our jewelry in dozens of physical stores across France, the USA, the UK, Spain, and Mexico.

At Koss Design, we are dedicated to offering jewelry with a unique and distinctive style. Our creations feature authentic Japanese beads, which differ from traditional round beads. These flat beads provide a modern and chic look, adding a touch of originality and sophistication to each piece. Inspired by the timeless beauty of colors and beads, each piece of jewelry becomes a daily luxury that enhances your style without overwhelming it.

This is why we typically produce limited-edition collections in individual colorways, prioritizing sustainable production practices. Only a select few pieces are ever recreated.

We use only authentic Japanese beads to ensure the highest quality.
