SIMPLICITY

Transparency in these quarantine times makes a way…a way for life to become simpler..once hard or complex gives way..We’ve gotten used to these times because we have to; adjust..we have no other choice but to comply…to..simplicity.

about kena

I create. I am a visionary. Lover of all things having to do with art and design. Every piece is handcrafted by me. Utilizing semi-precious gemstones, pave diamonds, antique and vintage repurposed elements. In some form or another one or all of the aforementioned will be used.

It is my joy to share with you my beginnings…as it is hard to let go of a piece I know it will be treated with love.

In Japanese culture there are a few unique beliefs, one in particular concept is called “mottainai” that essentially means we should cherish things and that even as an object ages, as long as it serves its purpose, it should be kept in use. I like to think that I am serving and/or servicing the antique and vintage pieces that I choose to reconstruct will continue to hold its value time after time.
