Making a ring in wax.
Designer ＊ Maya Nishimura
Born in Tokyo, raised in California and Japan, Maya has a multi-cultural background since the age of 5. After receiving BFA in furniture design and architecture from Otis College of Art and Design, Maya came across the lost wax technique in jewelry making. In 2003, Maya launched "ileava jewlery" a word describing the highest quality of something that is pure.
In 2007, Maya relocated to Tokyo to open up her studio and store, located in the central Tokyo. Inspired from everyday surroundings, dreams or the childhood memories, Maya creates miniature sculptures everyone can relate to.
