An engagement ring or wedding band represents much more than its weight in gold or the value of the precious stone attached to it by a skilled craftsman. The brilliant designers and attentive people at Kataoka Jewelry know this to be true, which is why they come up with unique and beautiful pieces for modern brides to enjoy.
Based in Tokyo, Japan, Kataoka offers hand-crafted jewelry, with custom-made wedding bands, engagement rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, featuring timeless designs that take hours and hours of work to create.
The company has already 25 years of incredible designs behind them, and its master goldsmith, Yoshinobu Kataoka, has put together over the years, the perfect team of gemologists and goldsmiths to help him create wearable art, with conflict-free diamonds, opals, rubies, tourmalines, sapphires, emeralds and amethysts as well.
Also worth mentioning that all of their pieces are created using a special blend of gold, designed by Kataoka himself and exclusive to the Japanese brand. In an effort to make everyone happy, Kataoka invites his future customers to work alongside him and design their own bespoke piece of jewelry; but rest assured, the brand’s pre-designed and permanent collection is not to be ignored.
There’s also a limited-edition collection with exclusive one-off pieces, and a specialized collection that shows off rough-cut stones or minimalist lines. Since they’re dealing with hand-crafted pieces here, it will take some time to transform your dreams into reality, and it will cost a pretty penny, but trust us when we say it’s all worth it!
