Chofa Jewelry

We’ve missed lucite. A few years ago, we fell hard for the bold, sculptural jewelry of Canadian designer Corey Moranis, and when she closed her business, she left a little hole in our jewelry case—and our hearts. Then, wandering Shoppe Object earlier this month, we met Sofia Pagano of Chofa Jewelry and felt a familiar spark. Made in Miami, Chofa takes lucite in its own colorful, artful direction: oversized bangles, playful rings, unexpected color and plenty of personality. It isn’t about replacing something we loved. It’s the delight of discovering a new designer who reminds us why we loved it in the first place.

Founded by Sofia Pagano and made in Miami, Chofa Jewelry turns lucite into wearable little works of art. Bold bangles, sculptural rings, vivid color and unexpected details—including tiny bubbles suspended inside the material—give each piece a playful point of view. There’s plenty of personality here, but the transparency and simplicity of the shapes keep everything surprisingly easy to wear. Stack it, mix colors, or let one piece do all the talking: Chofa is jewelry for having fun with.
