yasuko azuma

Founded in 2002 by Yasuko Azuma, a Japanese-born designer trained at the Fashion Institute of Technology, the brand translates personal history into wearable art from its Brooklyn studio. Azuma’s background as a dancer and fashion designer informs the graceful, feminine lines of her collections, which are inspired by childhood memories of her grandmother’s garden in Japan and the patterns of vintage kimonos. The jewelry is distinguished by its signature “diamond dust” texture—a light hammering technique that creates a subtle, sparkling matte finish on 18k gold.
