"Marimo"

Keiko Suzuki

jewellery

Marimo (ma’li’mo’) is a unique blend of natural stones, metalwork and wool felt jewellery by Keiko Suzuki.

Having studied at the Osaka Bunka Fashion College in 1995, Keiko developed her passion for art, fashion and design.

Her works (kekoo) were popular at the hand craft market in Kyoto (手作り市). Keiko has shown her jewellery  in the Inspiblo gallery in Kyoto. Keiko has also done collaborative work with  Lily Tale, Cocozell at ‘tapie style’ and at ‘Fetiche’  in Osaka.

 A peculiar eye for tropical fish dot patterns, plant shapes, an insect colour or moss may all be the inspiration for the pieces she creates. Round shapes and dots gathering together is the concept behind this jewellery as Marimo translates as  to ‘moss ball’ in Japanese.

Using different media she recreates microscopic detail seen in nature into creative, artistic jewellery.

Earrings and necklaces are made using stones, coral and felt.  Brass pieces are cast from wax and formed by hand to create her original designs.
