About Us
A personal and high quality craftsmanship approach allows complete freedom, resulting in unique handmade designs which are not influenced by fleeting trends, and not bound by the rules of conventional jewelry making.
About us
Atelier Shinji has been creating fun, approachable jewelry since 1972. Atelier Shinji Ginza jewelry are designed and made by the Naoi family; Shinji, Matico, Ippei and Janine, and their staff; Taguchi and Yokosaka, at the Ginza, Tokyo shop premise. In order to realize a “commitment to craftsmanship,” a consistent approach is taken designing, casting, and producing all products at the dedicated atelier. Direct communication with customers is vital, with the pieces sold at the dedicated shop located in Ginza, Tokyo.
OUR PROCESS
Atelier Shinji Ginza pieces are designed and hand crafted using the Lost Wax method. In order to express warmth and playfulness which is at the heart of all our design, collections are often realized in high-purity silver (Britannia Silver 958). The gentleness and beauty of high-purity silver is cherished, and because nickel is not used in any way, people with sensitive skin can wear them safely. Other materials such as 18K Gold, Platinum, etc. are possible upon order, and an ongoing 18K Gold and Platinum series is available. Learn more about custom-made jewelry here.
CONTEMPORARY COLLECTION
Various food, fruit & vegetable, nature and Japanese motifs reflecting seasonal traditions, are adopted to create a fun, unique and modern collection. Each series is based on a concept, with recurring themes from the urban landscape and from nature. All pieces are originally designed and based around concepts of warmth and playfulness.
CLASSIC COLLECTION
Shinji Classic is based on plant motifs and is designed by Shinji Naoi, who was greatly inspired by classic Art Nouveau styles whilst living in Paris in the 70s. The Shinji Classic collection has continued since that time. This timeless range mixes delicate Japanese motifs with the Art Nouveau style, using 23K Vermeil.
18K GOLD & PLATINUM COLLECTION
Limited pieces from regular collections have been reimagined and realized in 18K Yellow Gold and Platinum. As well as new designs especially for premium materials, this collection is daintier in size and can also be realized in 18K White Gold upon order. The premium collection can also be customized upon order.
