TOMOKO KODERA

Jewelry designer Tomoko Kodera seeks to create wearable works of art that follow the curves of one’s body and allow wearers to feel one with their jewelry.
From the angle that the bases of one’s fingers meet the palm to the unique shape of one’s ear, Tomoko Kodera’s creations are meticulously crafted with attention given to these minute details, highlighting these one-of-a-kind lines of the body. The comfort of wearing jewelry that seems to become a part of you is unlike any other, and once you have come to know that sensation, you will never forget it.
Tomoko Kodera’s jewelry is internationally acclaimed and has received numerous awards. This includes the first prize of a world-class competition held in Belgium, which she is the first Japanese designer to have received.
