About Us

We founded Himeji Jewelry in the heart of San Francisco, where our shared roots in design, heritage, and storytelling naturally came together. As cousins, we are surrounded by contrasting influences — the quiet elegance of East Asian tradition and the vibrant energy of the West Coast. Inspired by the enduring beauty of Himeji Castle, we set out to create a jewelry brand that captures that same sense of quiet strength, craftsmanship, and timeless refinement.

Every piece we design is a reflection of what matters to us: artistry, intention, and uncompromising quality. We handpick only the most exquisite gemstones, each chosen for its radiant clarity and enduring quality. Our designs are shaped by memory and emotion: the shimmer of light, the stillness of water, the softness of touch, the fragments of stories we carry.

For us, jewelry is not simply adornment. It is meaning made visible — a way to connect past and present, person and place. And above all, we believe that when crafted with care, even the smallest piece can carry deep joy, quiet confidence, and enduring resonance.
