Jewelry for the Extraordinary, Enhancing the Everyday



SOURCE | Exploring the Essence of Design at the Root of Things



There is a unique reason why extraordinary items become cherished parts of our daily lives. SOURCE is a shop located on the outskirts of Ebisu, specializing in jewelry and collecting warm, handcrafted objects.

Exquisite beauty that transcends human intellect, born from the forms of nature; healthy tools unearthed from old Japanese houses; hand-woven baskets for daily use, brought from the distant lands of Africa... These items, discovered from around the world, are carefully selected and artfully arranged under a clear concept, chosen only by the owner's aesthetic sensibility that cherishes and respects objects.

Focusing on the background of things. The richness at the root of objects, and the fruits of creative abundance that humans cannot intentionally produce, exist in this world even if they are not seen by human eyes. That is why this shop only displays items with distinct personalities and deep meaning.

For the women who actually wear them, the world of jewelry, which is only slightly removed from the extraordinary, is nothing less than an irreplaceable part of their daily lives. Therefore, most women who visit this shop find a new relationship with themselves, enjoying a subtle stance towards the extraordinary by overlaying it onto their own reality.

Ed Wiener, Art Smith, Robert Lee Morris. We must not forget that the background of SOURCE's creation lies in respect for the artists who create jewelry akin to these works of art, and for their profound imagination. It is a shop where one can encounter fresh surprise and delight with every visit.
