Mizuki Tochigi
Contemporary Jewellery Artist
I'm Mizuki, a contemporary jewellery artist based in the heart of London and Tokyo. My journey began at Central Saint Martins, where my passion for sustainability ignited. I strongly believe that sustainable thinking can drive creativity and positive change. This belief forms the foundation of every piece I create.
I craft jewellery that not only adorns but also makes a statement. Each piece is meticulously handmade, reflecting my commitment to ethical practices and environmental consciousness. With a focus on responsible design, I strive to redefine our relationship with materials and waste. By using recycled sterling silver, ethically sourced materials, and innovative techniques, I aim to contribute to a more sustainable future.
Join me on this journey of elegance, conscience, and creativity. Together, we can make a direct impact on our world through jewellery that tells a story beyond beauty.
