Mishca

Get glamourous this Christmas with Mishca's Medialuna cuff.

Set with luxury semi-precious gemstones of aquamarine, topaz, smoky quartz, pink tourmaline, green amethyst, purple amethyst and lemon quartz, the cutting-edge statement cuff embodies a sensual, unique and elegant design captivating subdued hidden desire in its sleek formation. 

Mishca contemporary designer jewellery is right on target for the independent woman who strives to differ. Timeless, eclectic and lavish, Mishca's collections draw on travel and cultural heritage as inspiration. Mishca’s handcrafted pieces with sterling silver and carat gold vermeil are decorated with a flamboyant use of semi-precious and precious gemstones, quartz, freshwater pearls and Swarovski crystals to create eye-catching necklaces, earrings and bracelets, all of which are highly affordable. 

Enthused by an amalgamation of rich cultural heritages from the Middle East and South and Central America, Mishca gathers the raw materials which her imagination alchemically transforms into startling forms: bold, audacious but always tasteful, sumptuous, sensuous and collectable.

Yuki Mitsuyasu


Shine

By Yuki Mitsuyasu

“When you choose your partner, his religion, nationality, or wealth does not matter; be with someone who lets you shine, then he is a man worth being with.”- Toshiyuki Mitsuyasu
Shine is characterised by two hearts. Each symbolizing a person. Each bold and unique from the other.
Together though, they realize something brighter than if they were apart. On the Shine necklace, the two hearts come together to complete the clasp (and pendant) as a star.

(Awarded Best New Product at International Jewellery London 2008)



We love Yuki Mitsuyasu's imaginitive jewellery because it combines sentiment and technical ingenious! This mixture of precision and symbolism has also caught the eye of respected fashion blogger Susie Lau recently featuring Yuki's work on her blog Style Bubble. The clever fastening devices and secret features of her work really have to be seen in real life to be enjoyed, so come into the shop and we'll give you a live demonstration!
