The Japanese pearls of Tasaki with the graft of the Nepalese creativity of Prabang Gurung ♦ ︎
After 63 years (it’s founded on January 10, 1954), Tasaki’s pearl giant will have the creative guide of a Nepalese fashion designer: Prabang Gurung. An unusual fact for a country, Japan, very jealous of its cultural identity, also for jewelery. And even more in a sector, that of pearls, where Tasaki is a flag. It is the only maison in Japan with its own pearl cultivation farm, as well as being famous for its advanced polishing technology for diamonds.
The attention to quality is so high that Tasaki has decided to select its pearls based on six different criteria: the quality of the nacre (the pearl base layer) that gives gloss and color, brilliance (light quality reflected in the interior itself), reflected light from the surface, color, shape, purity (any stains) and size. The result is the first collection signed by Prabang Gurung, who said he was inspired by the surrealism’s artistic movement and Japanese girls Ama, the famouses pearl scuba fishers. Cosimo Muzzano
