HANNAH TOMOKO - IN THE PICTURE

Hannah designs jewellery for women who:

 

Have a natural sense for timeless elegance in everything they do.

Know how to strike the balance between contemporary innovation and classic elegance.

Use their distinguished sense of style to create a sense of belonging -in their homes and outfits.

Understand how carefully created and curated objects can comfort the soul

If love is a universal language, then so is beauty.

She believes in “home” and the comfort of things.

 

Not just anything. But the beautiful thing. The handmade thing, the well made thing. The lovingly created and passed down thing.

While “home” might be ever-changing and the people that make us feel “at home” might be fleeting, she knows how objects, creativity and nature can give comfort and soothe our sense of loss.

Things can offer us solace, when we have troubles seeing beauty. They make us feel confident, when we are stumbling. They can make us feel like we belong, when we’re lost. They are a reminder, a presence, of someone or someplace we miss. Things we love are like lifelines.

 

This is how Hannah Tomoko jewellery was born: a desire to create lasting and soothing wearable beauty for others, by creating directly with my hands, using my innovative filigree-inspired technique.

 

As a dual citizen USA-Belgium, having moved across the Atlantic at the age of 11, she has a strange connection with loss -loss of home, loss of belonging.

In her ongoing search for a sense of belonging, she has found comfort in one of the most astonishing abilities of humankind: the creation of beauty out of a void.

 

“It’s about going from the discomfort of not fitting in, but not standing out either, to, the comfort of belonging by standing out. Creating your own universe when you’re lost in the existing one.”
