After earning an appraisal qualification from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA-GG), she studied jewelry design in Japan and the West. After working with long-established Jewelry manufacturers and wholesalers, as well as being in charge of an Italian brand, she established her own collection called TACARA. For treasures of the Earth, designing beautiful, bespoke and comfortable jewelry for people, and performing environmentally sustainable activities through this process is her life's purpose. She strongly believes in a mutual symbiosis between our sustainable use of the earth's gems to produce beautiful artwork in return for replanting and new growth.
Authentic jewelry can be born from arranging the beauty found in various traditions around the world and their techniques to contemporary lifestyles. Wanting to create something that somebody can consider “a treasure”, TACARA's jewelry is careful made by hand, one by one, by skills artisans in each field, both domestically and internationally. Tacara means “treasure” in Japanese, and cara means “dear” in Italian.
