The PONO collection is produced with integrity in Italy

PONO was launched in 2004 by sisters Joan Goodman and Barbara Barnett. In 2003, a number of years into operating their family button company, Bobbi Trim, the ladies watched as overseas manufacturing of American brand goods hit an all-time high, and the interest in European buttons an unprecedented low. The business (which still services today the likes of Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, Derek Lam, Zac Posen, Thakoon, Vera Wang, Phillip Lim, Proenza Schuler, Nicole Miller, etc.) was at the time becoming less and less about the creative process, "and one day I just called up my incredible, genius vendor in Italy and said 'all I want to do is make beautiful horn bracelets'", explains PONO Creative Director, Joan Goodman. And so they did... and horn became robles and then resin which led to links. The label's signature Antonia Link came about in 2007; and has since remained a top producer; evolving each season through updated techniques and new hues.

Ana Choker: Italian resin classic chain link choker.

10 years, 20 collections and 75 shows later, PONO's collectable bangles, necklaces cuffs and more are available in 300 retail outlets nationwide, including 16 museum shops like New York's Museum of Art & Design, The Barnes Foundation of Philadelphia and most recently the new Parrish Art Museum in Watermill New York.

Ilenia Necklace: New square link necklace.

Inventing new things each season, the line has enjoyed tremendous press pick-up from Vogue Italia and Harper's Bazaar to Nylon and Cosmo with several reputable blogs and online media in between.

PONO is also a regular on such TV media as "The Good Wife", "Girls", "Good Morning America", "The Today Show" and more. "PONO is my go-to source for elegant chic jewelry", explains "The Good Wife" costume designer, Dan Lawson. "I have collaborated with Joan on several projects and she never fails to have the perfect piece to not only finish a look but to MAKE the look."
