About SoulKu

More than just jewelry—a statement, a reminder, and a touchstone of comfort, empowerment, celebration, and love! Pronounced "soul-coo." The word "Ku" in Japanese translates to "a place of infinite possibility." We like to think of our company as just that, "A place where, guided by our soul's calling, anything is possible." From a book club in 2007 to the powerhouse duo behind SoulKu, Allison and Elisa’s journey has been one of unwavering support and deep connection. They came together as stay-at-home moms with a dream, each bringing unique strengths—Allison with her knack for numbers and Elisa with her creative spirit. Their shared vision was clear: to create something meaningful that would uplift and connect people. Out of this vision, SoulKu was born, symbolizing the “infinite possibilities” of the soul. In 2011 they created SoulKu's first collection, Soul Full of Light—simple, meaningful necklaces inspired by the healing properties of gemstones and the spiritual laws of attraction, belief, and Intention. SoulKu is about more than just jewelry—it’s a choice to support slow, mindful making over fast fashion. Every piece is handmade, signed, and packaged by a community of work-from-home moms in Asheville, North Carolina. It’s a hands-on process with real people behind it, each one contributing her own touch to make something meaningful. Read their story
