Craftsmanship
Primitive Painters' jewelry is carefully crafted one by one by skilled artisans in a workshop in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture, a region known as a leading jewelry production area.
From molding to finishing, every process is carried out with the help of human eyes and hands, giving the product a subtle nuance and warmth that differs from industrial uniformity.
Our jewelry quietly embodies the aesthetic sense and pride of its creators.
