Mihiro Murai
I create jewelry by incorporating the techniques of Western carving (incisione) and openwork carving (traforo) that I learned in Florence, Italy. While treasuring the traditional techniques of Florence, I develop original jewelry that utilizes my own unique sensibility in my daily creations. Upon request, I can also create one-of-a-kind custom-made jewelry. I carefully finish each piece, hoping that it will bring a little happiness and richness to the hearts of those who hold my jewelry in their hands.
