YAYOI FOREST

Born near a small forest in Japan, designer Yayoi Inada expresses her stories and experiences through her jewelry.

After working for an advertising agency in Tokyo, Yayoi began to have the desire to express her artistic side.

She made a decision to follow her passion and moved to New York to study jewelry design at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

In 2003 Yayoi decided to turn her passion into a reality by launching her jewelry collection Yayoi Forest Jewelry.

Working from her jewelry studio in Brooklyn, New York, Yayoi individually crafts all of her designs by hand using 14K gold or sterling silver.

She specializes in hand etching techniques and detailed wax carving to accentuate her appreciation for organic shapes and natural beauty.

 Yayoi Forest is sold throughout the United States and Japan.
