Satomi Kawakita is my new found favorite jeweler. Born and raised in Japan, now calling New York City home, Satomi doubles as a professional diamond setter and jewelry designer. My mom recently gifted me with an 18k yellow gold and pearl ring, one of Satomi’s simple, beautiful, and impeccably crafted creations.

Satomi herself included a note to my mom, thanking her for the purchase. A lovely little touch. You may check out more of Satomi’s rings and other jewels, including one-of-a-kind designs, right here.
