I participated a jewelry trunk show in Tokyo with 2 other classmates from my jewelry making studio. My concept is coming from wa-gashi, Japanese confectionery. So the display is inspired by Japanese table making and using konpeito (Japanese sugar candy) as a ring stand.
Please check my Jewelry brand a-dorn new york.
