The baroque pearls used in the new collection are large, ununiformed shaped pearls, each one unique created by its habitat in nature. Each piece is unique.

She designs the metal wires and pearls in organic shapes, bringing out the charm of baroque pearls. Mariko tsuchiyama’s jewelry all blend well with skin tones and beautifully accentuate the body parts and their contours. We welcome you to please come and see the pieces in person.

MESSAGE

“This collection was created without establishing a specific concept, departing from the constraints of plans and objectives. Drawing inspiration from dancers, the production process was influenced by their physical movements. Throughout the design and production process, I sought out prominent outlines and defined shapes, transforming vague emotions and forms that exist in the world I see into tangible visual elements, and this collection could be characterized as a crystallization of that process. At times, conveying abstract imagery through the unyielding medium of metal demands passion and drive, and with no defined concept this time, I felt more attuned to what stirs the heart, as if being pursued.”
