A life-altering experience brought about a creative rebirth for me at the age of 22. I began to focus inward and consider what really matters in life. Being raised in a four-hundred-year-old Buddhist temple in Niigata, Japan, I’ve always had a spiritual connection with nature and the world around me.

 

As the year 2000 began, so did my creative journey. My pieces are personally handcrafted using 14k gold-filled, sterling silver, and natural, sustainable, organic, and environmentally friendly materials. Genuine semi-precious stones, indigenous woods, Hill Tribe silver, shells, pearls, Japanese glass beads, and Czech glass beads are all part of my designs. I travel the world each year, sourcing materials from artisans and craftspeople across various regions.

 

I believe in creating jewelry that is simple, timeless, and perfect for everyday wear. Through my love for surfing, I was inspired to design waterproof jewelry—pieces that embody both beauty and durability, allowing you to stay connected to nature wherever you go. Whether on land or in the ocean, my jewelry is meant to be worn effortlessly, becoming a natural part of your daily life.

 

Oide means “come.” I invite you to “come” into your consciousness with Oide jewelry and immerse yourself in the Spirit of Aloha.
