DESIGN STORY

The rich and colorful history of Kyoto’s Gion Festival serves as the inspiration for this collection. These vibrant pieces of jewelry represent the designs and ornaments of the grand floats that have been an integral part of the festival for over 1,000 years. The signature necklace is comprised of traditional motifs from the floats, such as chrysanthemums, waterfalls and mythical birds, all shaped with more than ten kinds of colored stones and four precious metals. The skillful overlaying of motifs along the dazzling necklace captures the lively atmosphere of Kyoto’s most famous summer festival.
