ABOUT THE ARTIST
Keiko has had a passion for gems and jewellery since childhood. This passion was ignited by her grandmother. Keiko's family moved to Perth in 1972. Her childhood in Mosman Park was filled with music, culture and arts. On holidays to Japan, she studied calligraphy, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, abacus and dance. However, it was Keiko's love of gems that she pursued into adulthood. She attained a double diploma in Gemology before refining her design skills in Tokyo, New York and London. After two decades of building an international reputation creating bespoke pieces for a diverse clientele, Keiko made the transition into creating her own limited edition jewellery lines. Each piece is steeped in meaning, designed to evoke a feeling or favourite moment in the wearer. Her aim is to create jewellery that is not only a pleasure to wear, but seductive and emotive; turning the beautiful into the breathtaking and the glamorous into the glorious. Today Keiko travels the world hand-selecting the gemstones that add sparkle and colour to her designs. Her original creations are brought to life with the help of her select team of skilled artisans, with each piece months - sometimes years - in the making.
