We were so pleased that Takashi was selected to exhibit his designs for the SOL Collections at the International Designer Arena of the Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers’ Show in November 2010.  The collections, featuring nature-inspired pieces gave us the perfect opportunity to showcase the sustainability ethos of the brand, which includes original and unique designs using upcycled/recycled silver, natural rocks and crystals as well as Swarovski Zirconia instead of diamonds and gold, which are not well regulated and known to cause ecological devastation during mining. In some known cases, they have also been associated with human rights abuse during mining and trade.

It was a great opportunity and venue to share the stories behind the designs and raise awareness to the issues.

Thank you for all the support, praise and positive responses!
