A Place Where Hands Remember and Sensibility Is Refined
Valenza is a town shaped by hands—and by time.
For generations, small family-run workshops here have quietly created fine jewelry for the world’s major houses. Behind the scenes, these ateliers once held their own names, aesthetics, and ambitions.
Over time, only a few independent workshops have remained. Many were absorbed into larger maisons; others disappeared altogether. Artisans often continued their craft within big brands, but without a place to create jewelry of their own.
We work within this delicate continuity.
MIYOCO exists because we choose to protect that space—not as resistance, but as commitment. Using techniques passed down from Valenza’s maestri, my husband and I continue to work by hand, creating jewelry meant to become part of someone’s life.
This, too, is Valenza.
Tokyo: Where Playfulness Finds Balance
If Valenza is MIYOCO’s foundation, Tokyo is its sensibility.
Tokyo teaches how to combine fashion, playfulness, and individuality—then refine them so nothing feels excessive. It’s knowing when to loosen up, when to soften, and when not to take things too seriously.
Elegance here is also seasonal and considerate. It breathes. It moves. It pays attention—not only to the wearer, but to those around them.
This way of thinking shapes our sense of proportion, rhythm, and lightness. A piece may move, feel airy, even playful, yet remain composed.
It’s not learned from trends. It’s absorbed, growing up in Tokyo.
A Design Language Bridging Two Worlds
MIYOCO’s design language lives in the quiet dialogue between these two places.
From Valenza, we inherit discipline, respect for material, and generations of technique.
From Tokyo, we inherit clarity, balance, and a natural sense of play.
Neither is enough on its own.
Together, they allow us to create jewelry that feels effortless and intentional—never loud, never forced. Pieces that stay with you, rather than demand attention.
