About Us

Cool Coconut began as a market stall on Bondi Beach in the summer of 2000, during the Sydney Olympics.

The beach was full of people from all over the world, and they loved our coconut shell necklaces. Every time Duncan explained what they were made of, the answer came back the same… Cool!

After a long day at the beach he’d lie in bed with those two words going round in his head. Cool … coconut … cool … And that was that.

Twenty-five years on, we design wooden jewellery — necklaces, earrings and bracelets in Pangantuon, coconut palm wood and coconut shell — from our studio and warehouse in Mullumbimby, in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.

Every piece is made by hand in the Philippines, in the workshop of the same family business we’ve worked with since the beginning. The same workshop, the same families, for twenty-five years. It’s why the range hangs together the way it does: they know the timber, we know the colours, and between us we’ve been refining the same ideas for a quarter of a century.

You’ll find us in more than 150 shops across Australia and New Zealand, and right here.
