ABOUT
The jewelry of 'NANA WATANABE' is a collection inspired by an imaginary paradise, vividly depicting the beauty of flora, fauna, and nature.
This paradise, born from the creative perspective of designer Nana Watanabe, is a world teeming with beautiful life.
Here, the unique three-dimensionality and lightness not typically seen in conventional jewelry are brought to life through the meticulous embroidery techniques of Japan.
Innovative and Artful Jewelry
Our jewelry offers a unique experience with its unprecedented shapes and three-dimensional embroidery techniques. Pieces featuring motifs of plants and animals can brighten your daily life and may help you discover a new side of yourself. Each design is meticulously crafted in domestic factories, utilizing Japanese techniques.
Sophisticated and Colorful Design
Each piece of jewelry actively utilizes recycled materials, never forgetting environmental considerations, while pursuing luxury and creativity. By not using expensive gems or metals, we enhance the originality of our pieces. Wearers can enjoy these as art pieces that blend into daily life or as conversation starters in special moments.
Designer Philosophy
Nana Watanabe is casting a new stone across the boundary between art and fashion jewelry, continually challenging conventional notions. Her creations are elegant, playful, and express an innocent beauty. These pieces aim to bring freedom and joy to the wearer, adding personality and sophistication to any outfit. Her designs utilize the process of making clothes, incorporating the same technical approach to jewelry production as in garment creation. Starting from pattern making, to sewing and finishing, each step leads to the creation of unique three-dimensional textile jewelry. As a result, each piece transforms into an artwork that directly from her hands, adds new vibrance to the wearer's daily life.
