DESIGNER
About the Designer
My first encounter with jewelry was a toy ring that I was given at a festival when I was a child. It was sparkling and dazzling, like a drop of water, and I was so happy that I never got bored of looking at it. When I grew up and was unsure of what I wanted to do, the toy ring that sparkled in my small hand suddenly came to mind. Guided by that small memory, I began my journey on the path to making jewelry.
He specializes in bridal rings and has produced and designed for various brands, and in 2014 he launched his own brand, YUKA HOJO.
What we value is the natural variation that comes from handcrafting. Just like the lovely irregularities of human beings and the bumpy roads of life, our beautiful individuality is perfect because it is imperfect. In order to express this natural comfort, we handcraft the prototypes by carving and twisting them by hand.
A one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry that reflects your story and your heart is only complete when there is someone to wear it. I hope you will enjoy watching it change beautifully and tastefully over time as it accompanies your daily life.
About the designer
My first encounter with jewellery was a toy ring I found at a fair in my childhood. It was shimmering, glistening, like a drop of candy, it made me so delighted I could not admire it enough. When I was older and didn't know what to pursue, that toy ring in my small palms sparkled in my mind. As if being led by that small piece
of memory, I stepped into the path of jewellery creation.
Focusing on engagement and wedding rings, I have worked on various brand directions and designs. And in 2014, launched my own brand, YUKA HOJO.
I cherish the natural irregularity born from handwork. Like the unevenness of humans and the bumpy path of life, each beautiful individuality is perfect because of its imperfectness. To express this naturally made comfort, the moulds are made through hand by carving and twisting manually.
The one piece of jewellery that reflects the two stories and the two hearts is made perfect only when it has met someone to wear it. Together with you and your love, I wish you to cherish it as it becomes layered with many moments to deepen its beauty, changing over time.

ATELIER
Atelier's thoughts
Thinking fondly of someone is a feeling that is more precious than anything else. Our job is to somehow give shape to this beautiful feeling that cannot be seen or touched, and to help deliver it to the person you care about, which is our greatest joy.
The one and only beloved person in the world who is by your side. With all our strengths, weaknesses, joys and sorrows, we are always like a mirror, reflecting the beauty of this life in our eyes.
OUR THINKING
The precious feeling to think of someone so dearly. We strive to bring this invisible, intangible, yet beautiful sentiment into shape and assist in delivering this to your loved ones. That is our mission, our greatest pleasure.
Your dearest and only person in this world beside you. Strength, weakness, joy and sorrow, you were mirrors to reflect each other casting the beauty of life onto each other's eyes.
I hope that you will hold hands tenderly, travel to a world that neither of you could reach alone, and burn into your hearts the scenery and emotions that you can only experience together.
The joy that two people who love each other share in the limited time that is life will, in the end, make the person next to them happy.
There is a view you can see when you close your eyes.
One day, when you look down at the Earth from the sky, the light will pass through the center of the two rings and travel around the world, and the tiny stars shining on your left ring fingers will connect with each other and the world will be enveloped in warm love.
I dream of such a view today too.
Taking hands gently, travel the world you would have never reached alone
and make as many imprints of the scenery and emotions you can only find with your dearest. The delight of spending time together within the limited course of life goes round and back for another person next to you.
There is a vision I see when I close my eyes.
One day, looking down on Earth from the sky, a ray of light flows through a pair of rings to run across the world, linking each star on your left hands
wrapping the planet with the warmth of love.
We face our jewellery day to day, dreaming of such a scene.
