Michie Sento
Coral Jewellery Designer A member of Japan Jewellery Designer Association Coral is called "a secret gem in the deep ocean", and it has been regarded as a good luck charm which keeps you from evils.
There are two kinds of coral; one is "the gem coral" and the other is "the reef coral". The former grows mystically on the sea bed of 100 to 1,000 meters" depth. I am engaged in making various kinds of jewellery out of this precious material. My greatest concern is how I can keep the original charm of the material and give my products the new glitter of life. |
