became designer exactly knew pencil sketch wear
I was a baby when I began, but I knew exactly what I wanted to wear myself. I became a jewelry designer because I knew how to do something with a pencil and sketch my ideas.
incredibly range wide
I don't have the feeling that I need to add a lot to my collection, because I have an incredibly wide range of things. This is a part of the secret of my things, that they are still valid. When I feel a need, I do something more.
beauty create cup earring full good hold magical moment moon sake
I can hold a cup of sake on a full moon in Japan, and the reflection of the moon in that little cup can make me feel so enthusiastic about beauty. That one good, magical moment can give me enough to create other things like the teardrop earring or necklace.
aesthetic design good home house japanese weight
Good design for the home should be universal. A house should be like old shoes, comfortable, like a good friend... The Japanese aesthetic is important to me. Very organic. They have a sense of the weight of the thing: very balanced.
beauty design
You think about the beauty and what you want to transmit. If I think about designing, I can't design.
beauty
What I want is not to become a status symbol, but to give beauty at a price.
faithful work
The production must be faithful to the line. If the production fails, my work fails.
houses people themselves time
People surround themselves in their houses with things they don't really need, that they have to dust all the time.

Most of the time, I'm in the country, and the jewelry I wear I can wear in the country.

I would like to get married, but it must be a man who is part of my work, or me part of his.

I like Yorkshire Tea - very strong and English.
certain degree eliminate excess high
I like to push myself to achieve a certain quality, eliminate the excess detail. I always want a high degree of purity.
I like to do things that are classic.

I keep my hair gray, so I like silver and platinum. For women who dye their hair, they can wear whatever they want.
