Asili
Carlo Saio - Artisan and Founder of Asili Jewelry
Carlo Saio is the creative force behind Asili, a handmade jewelry collection inspired by his extraordinary journey on foot from Uganda to South Africa. Drawing from the natural world, Carlo uses seeds, metal, wood, and stone to craft one-of-a-kind talismans that blend ancient techniques with contemporary artistry.
Asili, meaning “nature” or “origins” in Swahili, reflects Carlo’s deep connection to the earth. His collection includes rings, bangles, cuffs, earrings, anklets, and necklaces. Each piece is a unique celebration of our timeless collective human journey with our world.
