About the Exhibitor
KIRIEBIJOU is a jewellery brand that transforms the traditional Japanese art of kirie paper cutting into contemporary, wearable form. Crafted from intricate kirie patterns combined with special paper and metal leaf, each piece reflects a balance of delicacy and strength rooted in Japanese craftsmanship.
Using a patented original material developed from durable, water-resistant, resin-based synthetic paper, KIRIEBIJOU brings together hand-carved techniques, lacquer work, and metal leaf finishing to create jewellery that feels both refined and enduring. The finely cut patterns and subtle metal leaf textures evoke the beauty of ancient artefacts and antiques, forming a distinctive and timeless aesthetic.
Recognised as wearable art, KIRIEBIJOU has been showcased in department stores, international exhibitions, and at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. From signature designs to one-of-a-kind works, the brand offers art jewellery that brings craftsmanship seamlessly into everyday life.
About the Products
KIRIEBIJOU jewellery is designed to be worn with ease, combining bold visual presence with exceptional lightness. Even statement-sized pieces feel almost weightless, allowing for comfortable wear throughout the day.
Each piece is handcrafted through a careful process of hand-carved kirie, lacquer application, and metal leaf finishing. Made from a specially developed, patented material, the jewellery is both durable and water-resistant, making it suitable for everyday use, even in humid or rainy conditions.
Flexible yet strong, the material resists bending and pressure while maintaining its delicate appearance. From refined classics to one-of-a-kind designs, KIRIEBIJOU jewellery balances artistic expression with practical wearability.
