CEO Letter
Dear Friends,
I’m so grateful that you’ve found us and we have a moment of your precious time to share our unique company story. Boma Jewelry was founded by my parents, Boon and Chieko in 1981 in Seattle, Washington. As the company grew and became a trusted source for large retailers such as Nordstrom, American Eagle and Target, they dedicated their resources to build their own factory in my Dad’s native country of Thailand. Today I am blessed to continue our family’s heritage of a truly lasting and sustainable company while doubling down on our ethical and sustainable commitments to all our workers.
A look at some of the projects that we're working on today:
+ We are actively pursuing B-Corp certification
+ We became a social-purpose company or Benefit Corporation in 2020
+ We are member of the American Sustainable Business Council
+ We are a member of the Sustainable Fashion Alliance
With Gratitude,
Suzanne Vetillart | Boma Jewelry CEO

Heritage
Boma was founded in 1981 in Seattle, Washington.
On Christmas day in 1992, the stakeholders of Boma wrote the company objectives in a file titled “Boma Jewelry Company Objectives”.
In many ways this document written over 28+ years ago demonstrates the lasting vision, mission and values that our company has adopted while demonstrating the ways our company is evolving in sharing our vision, mission and values today.
Artisans
We believe that the people who make your things matters.
We built our jewelry factory slowly over four decades and have many of our original workers still working with us today. Behind each piece of Boma Jewelry is a smiling face and dedicated and hard-working person who takes great pride in his or her work.
All our workers receive the following long-term benefits:

Handmade Process
Each piece of Boma Jewelry passes the hands of over 21 skilled artisans and silversmiths from start to finish.

Boma Girl Fund
Founded in 2016 to formally donate funds to programs created specifically for our worker's families.
The Boma Girl Fund was created in 2016 to formally donate funds to programs created specifically for the workers and families and communities of the artisans and craftspeople who make our jewelry each day. Originally it was intended as a fund exclusively for girls and women but has grown to be inclusive of all children, spouses and extended family members.
How it works?
Each year Boma commits annual funds for programs that include: education scholarships, book drives, family and community events and wellness activities for workers. Since its inception, Boma has a goal to increase funds year over year by 15%.
