Our Story
SMODDO was born from a personal need.
Jewelry Made to Be Worn, Loved & Trusted
Hello, I’m Kristina.
I’m the founder of SMODDO, a U.S.-based jewelry brand and a luxury lifestyle storyteller.
For years, jewelry has been part of my everyday life. Living in Switzerland with my family, I’m surrounded by a culture where style is often about the details — effortless, refined, and personal rather than simply following trends.
But finding jewelry that truly worked for my lifestyle was surprisingly difficult.
With sensitive skin, I often found beautiful pieces that I couldn’t actually wear. They would tarnish, lose their color, or irritate my skin after only a short time.
I knew there had to be a better way.
That’s Why I Created SMODDO
I wanted jewelry that felt beautiful and elevated, but also made sense for real life.
Pieces you could put on in the morning and forget about. Jewelry you could wear while traveling, going to dinner, working, or simply living your everyday life — without constantly worrying about taking it off.
That philosophy became the foundation of SMODDO.
Thoughtfully Designed. Intentionally Made.
Every SMODDO piece begins with my eye for style and the way I personally want jewelry to look, feel, and be worn.
I curate our collections with an emphasis on refined design, versatility, and the effortless European-inspired aesthetic I share through my lifestyle community of more than 100,000 followers.
We work with carefully selected small production partners in Europe and Asia, allowing us to take a more intentional approach to the designs we choose, the materials we use, and the quality we expect.
We don't believe jewelry should feel anonymous or mass-produced.
The result is thoughtfully selected jewelry designed to feel personal — pieces you can make your own and wear as part of your story.
Made for Real Life
We use advanced 18K Gold PVD technology, creating a significantly more durable bond than traditional gold plating.
Our pieces are designed to be waterproof, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic, making them easier to wear and enjoy every day.
Because I believe jewelry should not simply look beautiful when you first open the box.
It should continue to feel like your piece long after that moment.
We believe the best jewelry doesn't define your style — it becomes part of it.
A Brand With a Personal Story
SMODDO is more than a jewelry company to me. It represents the feeling I was looking for when I couldn't find jewelry that truly worked for my life.
It grew from a personal frustration into a brand built around something I believe many women are looking for: beautiful pieces they can actually trust, love, and wear.
With a community of more than 100,000 followers, I share my personal style and everyday life — giving me a direct connection to the women I create SMODDO for.
Living in Switzerland continues to influence the way I see style: refined, effortless, and never overdone.
No endless collections just for the sake of having more.
No jewelry designed simply to follow every passing trend.
Just thoughtfully selected pieces designed to become part of your own story.
Beautiful. Functional. Wearable. Personal.
Welcome to SMODDO.

PVD Coating
Advanced durability
SMODDO jewelry is thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind, including for those with sensitive skin. Our pieces are made without nickel, lead, or cadmium, materials commonly associated with skin irritation.
We use advanced 18K Gold PVD technology, which creates a more durable and stable coating compared to traditional gold plating. This process helps reduce direct contact between the skin and the underlying metal while offering a finish that is resistant to everyday wear over time.
Our Materials
Designed to last. Made to be worn.
-
18K Gold PVD
We use premium 18K Gold PVD coating, applied through a modern vacuum process that bonds gold at a molecular level. This creates a finish that is significantly more durable than traditional gold plating, resistant to tarnishing, and gentle on sensitive skin.
-
Stainless Steel
Our stainless steel base is chosen for its strength, resistance to corrosion, and hypoallergenic properties. It does not rust, tarnish, or react with skin, making it ideal for everyday wear.
-
Sterling Silver 925
For select designs, we use high-quality Sterling Silver 925, valued for its timeless beauty and skin-friendly nature. Carefully finished to maintain its shine and durability.
All materials are selected with longevity, comfort, and responsible craftsmanship in mind.
Why SMODDO
Not all gold jewelry is created equal.
Traditional vermeil is expensive and gold plating may look beautiful at first, but they often fade quickly, tarnish, and cause skin irritation. SMODDO was created to bridge the gap between fine jewelry and everyday wear.
