Yuki Kuramitsu is a New Mexico based jewelry designer. I was born and raised in Kanagawa Japan. I began my career as a make-up artist. However, I had been thinking that I wanted challenge myself, and try new things. Then I moved to New York in 2013 with just a suitcase to study the art of jewelry making at Studio Jewelers Ltd in Manhattan. I learned jewelry design/rendering and comprehensive jewelry training such as metal-smithing, soldering, wax-carving, stone-settings, and enameling and more. Also, I worked as a bench jeweler for jewelry designer Ayaka Nishi, and Catbird in Brooklyn, NYC.

I'm currently focusing on my own line of jewelry inspired by nature, anatomy, and organic shapes. I have special feelings about bones from my deep interest in anatomy. This made me think that bones have mysterious shape, charm, and strength. I aspire to turn this into jewelry using my own approach. My goal is to offer one of kind, comfortable, handmade jewelry that is wearable for any occasion. I hope you enjoy wearing my jewelry as much as I enjoy making jewelry!
