Shihara

Japanese jewellery designer Yuta Ishihara was born in Yamanashi, Japan, and now resides in Tokyo. Ishihara studied jewellery design in Tokyo, and in 2008, he started designing and producing custom pieces. By 2010, he established his company as he started the brand Shihara. Yuta Ishihara considers jewellery from a theoretical standpoint, while updating the conventional rules, functions and structure of jewellery into a cleaner, streamlined and beautiful design. Necklaces designed without clasps, or using functional parts of earrings such as catches and posts as part of the overall designs, are a few examples of his many innovative creations. In 2014, Shihara’s flagship store YUIBOX opened in the backstreets of Omotesando, aiming to express and to share the world of Yuta.
