Born in Japan but now living in New York City, sisters Noriko and Akiko Sugawara design and create jewelry that is inspired by both the urban and the natural. Subtle details such as the textures of rocks and leaves, sidewalk cracks, old architectural elements, the bare tree branches of winter all inform the designs, infusing each with a Japanese sensibility that is both modern and organic.

The Five Stone Necklace with Blue Sapphire features a sparkling grouping of sapphire, two emeralds, and a champagne diamond in a 14k yellow gold setting.
