Hocerat is a line of hand-crafted, one of a kind jewelry from the New York studio of artist and jeweler, Iohann Pita. Drawing inspiration from ancient Near Eastern seals and art of classical antiquity, each piece is carefully designed to be modern and wearable while simultaneously transcending time and civilization.

Conveying the mystery and wonder of personal memories, each creation from this collection harkens to Marcel Proust’s “in Search of Lost Time,” from which Hocerat draws further inspiration.

Jo Nakamura studied industrial design at Pratt Institute in New York and later earned a Master of Design from Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands. After returning to Japan, he founded januka in 2012.

Januka creates designs that exist slightly off the norm, conjuring a sense of surprise through elegant, comfortable, and unconventional jewelry. In this era of abundance, they deeply value when someone resonates with januka's designs and philosophy, feels a sense of excitement, and chooses our creations because they feel "right."

KIMA is the work of Isabel Dennis, a fine jeweler based in Oakland, California. Isabel trained under master diamond setter Alexandre Sidorov in Antwerp, Belgium, and specializes in traditional pavé, wax carving, and diamond setting. Her work marries old world metalsmithing and setting techniques with unique modern and antique gemstones and an avant-garde design sensibility. 

Her designs are all hand cut and set in house, and incorporate deliberately challenging design elements in an effort to always be advancing her craft.
