The intricate design of these pieces allows them to gracefully flow in harmony with the movements of the wearer.

NAYUTA

那由多

DESIGN STORY

Nayuta is an ancient Indian unit of measurement that refers to a number too large to count.

NIWAKA desires that the wearer be inspired by the unlimited possibilities of this collection.

HAKUSUI

白透

The HAKUSUI collection uses white clouds and blue skies to express the sense of elation one can experience by looking to the sky. By using diamonds, sapphires and specially hand-cut white ceramic, this piece evokes the feeling of clouds floating through the air.

YUI

DESIGN STORY

The YUI collection is based on the motif of knots, the ties that bind. Family, friendship, love and shared dreams create connections that bring people together throughout life, and each knot design embodied in precious jewelry becomes a symbol of these strong, irreplaceable bonds.

SUIREN

睡蓮

DESIGN STORY

The delicacy and grace of suiren (water lilies) floating serenely on the water’s surface was the inspiration for this collection. Precious metals are gracefully curved and accented with diamonds that capture the light and express the essence of suiren – to be kind and pure of heart.

POTCHIRI

ぽっちり

DESIGN STORY

The ancient capital’s traditional arts and hospitality are passed down by the maiko and geiko of Kyoto. When it comes to the women’s ornate kimono, obi belts and hair accessories, they are supported by countless artisans, such as traditional craftsmen, hairstylists and kimono dressers. As part of their ensemble, maiko wear a particularly gorgeous obidome accessory on the tie around their waists called a “potchiri”, which are treasured generation to generation.

MAKIE

蒔絵

DESIGN STORY

Developed a thousand years ago during the Heian period, makie is an exemplary lacquerware technique that involves using gold and silver dust with layers of varnish to produce an image. At NIWAKA, two makie ring designs were created with Japan’s national bird, the pheasant (kiji), as their motif. One design evokes the image of a pheasant silently concealing itself within grass swaying in the wind, while the other features delicately drawn contour feathers left behind once the pheasant has taken flight.
