3rd collection “Playing Cards” 2026.7.8 Launch

Customized jewelry with a playing card motif, created by internationally active contemporary artist Kei Takemura.

For the third collection, we have appointed Kei Takemura, a world-renowned contemporary artist known for her unique expression of applying embroidery to photographs and drawings, as the jewelry designer.

The "Playing Cards" collection allows you to freely combine charms designed with numbers, suits, and face cards, using playing cards as motifs. In addition to base parts such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and ear cuffs, we offer over 40 types of charms.

NS by NOUSAKU jewelry uses the original material "Tin Gold." By blending tin, which is light and flexible, with gold, we achieve a smooth wearing experience that is not burdensome and conforms to the skin's temperature.
