Everyday Jewellery, Infused With Intention: Conscious Select × Mod+Jo
Jordan Flynn started Mod+Jo in 2016 while living abroad in China, without a work visa and with no access to a studio. She made each piece by hand — from gold plating the metal elements to hammering the texture of the fringe earrings that became the brand's first bestseller — and shipped them directly to customers and boutique partners from wherever she was. That origin shaped everything that followed. Mod+Jo has always been made by hand, in small batches, with the founder personally accountable for every piece that leaves the studio.
Today the brand operates from a studio and flagship retail space in Dallas's Bishop Arts District — a neighbourhood of female entrepreneurs and independent businesses — where the full collection is handcrafted, customised, and offered with ring-making classes for customers who want to understand the process themselves.
The Jewellery
Mod+Jo works in 14k gold-fill, gold-plated brass with reinforced plating technology, and ethically sourced stones — materials chosen for durability and daily wearability rather than occasion. The aesthetic bridges minimalist silhouette and vintage romance: herringbone chains, signet rings, coin pendants, and statement earrings designed to layer intuitively and stay relevant across years of wear.
Production runs are kept deliberately small. Each piece is proven before a batch goes forward, which keeps the range tight and quality consistent. The brand's zero dead-stock policy means any surplus is donated or melted down for reuse — a practical commitment that prevents the accumulation of unsold inventory that undermines most small jewellery brands.
