The Japanese Jewelry Brand with a Twist You Need to Know
Nestled in the creative heart of Tokyo, PALA jewelry has been quietly revolutionizing the accessories scene since 2012. If you’re tired of cookie-cutter designs that lack personality, this is definitely the brand to watch. Self-taught silver and goldsmith Shuri Kimura has crafted a jewelry line that’s as eclectic and vibrant as Tokyo itself—and now it’s making serious waves at Flying Solo Paris.
The Creative Mind Behind PALA
Unlike traditional jewelry designers, Shuri Kimura brings a multidisciplinary approach to her craft. Active in creative direction and interior design coordination, she draws inspiration from literally everywhere—landscapes, textures, words, materials—you name it. This cross-pollination of influences results in pieces that are refreshingly unconventional yet wearable every day.
What’s the PALA philosophy? It’s all about adding that unexpected twist to your look. Think of it as jewelry that starts conversations, not just complements outfits. Each piece carries Kimura’s distinct vision: originality, connection, fun, love, and power.
PALA’s Signature Collection: A Closer Look
PALA Gold Ring: Sculptural Minimalism with Personality
The PALA gold open ring is nothing short of a wearable sculpture. Hand-shaped with meticulous attention to detail, this 10k gold and resin creation embodies Japanese minimalism with a contemporary twist. The open design allows for adjustability while maintaining its distinctive form—making it perfect for stacking or wearing as a standalone statement. Made entirely in Japan, this ring exemplifies Kimura’s dedication to quality craftsmanship.
PALA Silver Diamond Rolling Ring: A Romance in Motion
If you’re looking for something truly unique, the PALA diamond rolling ring delivers. Two heart-shaped silver rings connected by a baby-sized heart diamond eternity ring create a mesmerizing interplay of movement and light. Sized at approximately 6, this piece is a perfect representation of PALA’s playful approach to luxury. The combination of silver and diamonds creates a versatile piece that transitions effortlessly from day to night.
PALA Silver Ring: Heart Patterns with Edge
PALA’s heart-patterned full coverage finger ring takes a classic motif and gives it unexpected edge. Available in size 7½, this silver PALA ring features an organic pattern that wraps completely around the finger for maximum impact. The high-polish finish catches light from every angle, making this piece a standout addition to any jewelry collection.
PALA Silver Pearl Necklace: Timeless with a Twist
The silver pearl necklace is perhaps the most classically elegant piece in the collection, but true to form, PALA adds unexpected details that make it distinctly their own. Using natural color akoya pearls strung on a durable nylon cord, the 17.7-inch necklace features approximately 0.3-inch pearls. The showstopper? PALA’s original heart toggle clasp that transforms a timeless design into something fresh and contemporary.
PALA Silver Bracelet: Teddy Bear Charm
Who says luxury can’t be playful? PALA’s original teddy bear chan braceletis the perfect example of Kimura’s whimsical approach to design. Crafted in sterling silver, this 7.2-inch bracelet features delicately crafted teddy bear charms that add an unexpected twist to any outfit. It’s the kind of conversation-starting piece that defines the PALA aesthetic—serious craftsmanship with a side of joy.
The PALA Difference: Why Fashion Insiders Are Obsessed
What makes PALA jewelry stand out in an oversaturated accessories market? It’s their commitment to creating pieces you’ve genuinely never seen before—while ensuring they’re still wearable with everything from casual denim to elegant evening wear.
Each piece feels like it has a story to tell, whether it’s the gold open ring that looks like it was shaped by natural forces or the silver teddy bear bracelet that brings an element of playfulness to luxury accessories. The brand challenges conventional notions of what fine jewelry should be while maintaining impeccable craftsmanship.
Style Guide: How to Wear PALA
One of the most impressive aspects of PALA’s designs is their versatility. According to Kimura herself, “All of my jewelry goes well with both casual and formal looks! Like T-shirts & denim or silky dresses!”
For an everyday look, try pairing the PALA silver diamond rolling ring with distressed jeans and a crisp white tee—let the unique design be the focal point. For something more elevated, the pearl necklace creates a stunning contrast against a black cocktail dress, while the gold open ring adds architectural interest to minimalist evening wear.
