Exclusive Collaboration: Essayist Mamiko Izutsu and Jewelry Brand 'les bonbon' Launch Gemstone Necklace Inspired by 20-Year Favorite

Kodansha Co., Ltd. has announced the launch of the first-ever jewelry piece from 'GOROGORO BOUTIQUE,' the private store of Paris-based essayist Mamiko Izutsu, available through the 'mi-mollet STORE.'

This special item is a collaboration with 'les bonbon,' a jewelry brand known for designs that highlight natural beauty. The necklace is inspired by a piece that Izutsu has cherished for over two decades. It aims to combine daily elegance with high-quality craftsmanship that lasts a lifetime. The piece features eight natural gemstones set on a 10K yellow gold (YG) chain, designed to act as a 'lucky charm' that adds a sparkle to daily life.

【Background of the Collaboration】 The project started from a multi-colored necklace that Izutsu has worn like a part of her body for over 20 years.
