about nona.bijoux ….

Let me tell you a little about nona.bijoux...

The reason I started the nona.bijoux brand was in 2009, shortly before launching as a jewelry brand in 2013, when I started creating nona. using various materials.

After shaping my ideas using leather products, resin, aluminum, cloth, silverwork, paper, etc., I found that creating with natural materials is more comfortable for me, so I chose metal as my creations materials.

I felt guilty to throwing my created objets become trash, so I decided to work with only with gold and silver, which I could reuse myself for ecological meanings.

nona. evolved into nona.bijoux with the aim of creating special pieces that people would cherish for a long time.

I personally prefer simple objects rather than sparkly things, so the style of nona.bijoux is simple and free styles like unisex.

nona.'s activities began when I returned to Japan from France for a while.

Paris, a melting pot of various races, had a culture that embraced all free thinking and art. I was able to cultivate the joy of giving shape to my values ​​and the joy of sharing them with others through my life there. This is how nona.bijoux became.

During my 10 years living in Paris, I met many African people. I had a vague dream of living on the African continent someday, but later returned to Japan. Shortly after that, the COVID-19 pandemic began, and when it finally cleared up, I was able to start living on the island of Madagascar, a little away from the African continent of my dreams.

It's already been a year and nine months... Every day is a series of discoveries and is fun, but sometimes there are events that completely overturn my values, and I feel like I'm spending sweet and spicy days.

I'm trying to express what I felt here in a tangible form through nona.bijoux.

"Everything is beautiful because we’re all different"

I would like to continue enjoying creating within the limited time I have while thinking about the "mystery of life," which is one of the production themes of nona.bijoux.

It's still chilly in Madagascar, and summer time is coming. The flowers are starting to blooming.

It's August outside, the scent of jasmine flowers…..
