Tasaki

Tasaki, a distinguished luxury Japanese jewelry brand, has made significant strides since its establishment in 1954. Founded by Shunsaku Tasaki in Kobe, Japan, the company's inception was marked by its focus on cultivating cultured pearls, positioning itself within an industry dominated by traditional European houses. Initially, Tasaki's primary operations revolved around the production and distribution of Akoya pearls, a type synonymous with elegance and exceptional luster.

During the 1960s, Tasaki expanded its operations by developing proprietary techniques for pearl cultivation, which greatly enhanced the quality and consistency of its pearls. This commitment to innovation set Tasaki apart in the competitive jewelry market. By the late 1970s, the brand diversified its offerings to include a variety of gemstones and diamonds, further solidifying its presence in the luxury sector.

A defining moment came in 1970 when Tasaki was awarded exclusive rights to harvest pearls from the coastal waters of Amami Oshima, an area renowned for its pristine conditions ideal for pearl cultivation. This exclusivity allowed Tasaki to maintain unprecedented control over the quality and supply of its pearls. The company’s dedication to excellence earned international acclaim, sparking growth beyond the Japanese market.

Entering the new millennium, Tasaki embraced a progressive vision by collaborating with notable designers such as Thakoon Panichgul in 2009, which brought a contemporary flair to their collections. This collaboration attracted a younger, more diverse clientele while respecting the brand's rich heritage. Tasaki’s innovative designs have been featured in high-profile fashion shows, bringing further recognition and prestige.
