Welcome to Fomeno, where each piece of jewellery is more than an accessory—it's a tangible reminder of enduring truths and personal values. Founded in the spring of 2024, our brand was born from a passion for creating exquisite, detail-oriented jewelry that carries deeper meanings and is produced with ethical practices at its core. Our name, inspired by "forget me not," reflects our commitment to creating pieces that are memorable and significant, echoing larger truths through the art of fine jewelry.
At the heart of Fomeno is a dynamic team of young designers and artisans, all of whom bring a spirited and artistic approach to our creations. We specialize in everyday wear silver jewelry, designed not just for aesthetic appeal but to serve as emblems of personal beliefs and inspirations. Each item in our collection is crafted to be a part of daily life, its significance growing with each wear.
Our core values revolve around three main pillars: ethical integrity, quality, and meaningfulness. We are dedicated to producing jewelry that not only looks beautiful but also aligns with the highest ethical standards. This commitment means that every piece we create is free of ethical concerns, from sourcing to sale.
Ethical intergrity
We are committed to not only creating beautiful jewelry but also to ensuring that our production processes adhere to the highest ethical standards. This commitment is why we manufacture our jewelry 100% in Europe, where stringent labor laws guarantee adequate protection for workers and ensure fair wages. Additionally, the European Union's robust environmental protection regulations align with our dedication to minimizing our ecological footprint. By choosing to produce locally within these regulated environments, we maintain control over our production chain and uphold our values of fairness and responsibility towards both people and the planet. This approach reflects our belief that true beauty in jewelry comes not only from its appearance but also from its ethical creation.
Quality
The materials and techniques we employ are selected to ensure the highest quality and durability. We exclusively use 925 sterling silver, known for its luster and longevity, and combine state-of-the-art 3D printing with traditional hand finishing. This hybrid approach allows us to create intricate designs that are both innovative and timeless.
Meaningfulness
Fomeno stands out in the crowded jewelry market by focusing on jewelry with meaning. We believe that each piece should not only adorn but also resonate, connecting the wearer to larger narratives and personal journeys. Our designs are subtle yet profound, intended to inspire mindfulness and a deeper connection to one's values and experiences.
We aim for our customers to feel a sense of appreciation and introspection when wearing our jewelry. Each piece is designed to be a gentle nudge towards recognizing and cherishing the little joys and truths of life, enhancing everyday experiences with a touch of thoughtfulness.
Our Inspiration
From the very beginning, our aim was to create jewelry that not only looks beautiful, but also carries at a deeper meaning. We’ve mainly found our inspiration in three sources: nature, art, and philosophy. These elements guide our designs, inviting us, and hopefully you, to look closer, think deeper, and discover the stories woven into each piece.
Nature
In nature, we find endless creativity and harmony. Every leaf, flower, or wave carries its own unique beauty, balance, and rhythm. There’s a reason we feel restored when walking through a forest, listening to a river, or noticing the intricate details of a blossom, it’s because nature effortlessly blends simplicity with complexity, strength with softness, and permanence with change. Our jewelry aims to capture those moments: the delicate curve of a leaf, the subtle symmetry of petals, the gentle flow of water. Through thoughtful designs inspired by the natural world, we want to reconnect you to that quiet sense of wonder. When you wear one of our nature-inspired pieces, you carry a little of the earth’s grace and harmony with you, a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and appreciate life’s simplest beauty.
Art
We’ve always found ourselves drawn to art—not just for how it looks, but for how it makes us feel. The quiet pause in front of a sculpture, the curve of a line that lingers in your memory—those moments stay with you. We started creating jewelry because we wanted to carry that feeling into everyday life. To make pieces that don’t just decorate, but connect—to beauty, to history, to something a little deeper. Our aim is to bring fine art off the pedestal and into the everyday, so it can be worn, enjoyed, and even become part of someone’s story.
Philosophy
Philosophy remind us to question, reflect, and live more intentionally. From playful debates over “less is more” versus “more is more,” to deeper meditations like Spinoza’s concept of viewing life sub specie aeternitatis—from the perspective of eternity—these ideas shape how we approach design. Words of wisdom, old proverbs, and thought-provoking sayings offer insights that encourage us to slow down and look beyond the obvious. When crafting our jewelry, we let these reflections guide us: each piece becomes a thoughtful statement, embodying concepts that have resonated across generations. By translating these timeless ideas into wearable designs, we invite you not only to adorn yourself, but to carry the meaning close, sparking curiosity and conversation. After all, beauty is richer when paired with depth, and style becomes more compelling when infused with wisdom.
As we continue to grow and evolve, Fomeno remains committed to redefining the experience of wearing jewelry. We invite you to explore our collections and find a piece that speaks to your story, your values, and your aesthetics. Join us in celebrating the beauty and significance of wearing your truths, crafted with care, and wrapped in meaning.
