Introducing Anne Hara Studio

After a decade-long career in finance in the USA, Anne Hara pivoted to the bench to reclaim a sense of permanent form. Now based in Japan, she approaches her work with the shokunin spirit - a devotion to the daily, disciplined practice of craft. Her jewelry translates the fluid lines of a bicultural identity into organic, textured objects for the "in-between."

ABOUT

Anne Hara is a designer and artisan whose work explores the dialogue between traditional Japanese art forms and Western jewelry-making techniques.


Inspired by the structures of nature and the tradition of Japanese craft, the studio creates bold, abstract objects that bridge Eastern and Western perspectives.
