Mother always said “first impressions are lasting” and that philosophy would most certainly be applied to the launch of a jewelry line, right? So without further ado I would like to introduce A Hofmann, the line is designed by Editor in Chief of OWN Magazine Kota Kuramoto and his wife Nobu. The line of exquisite high-end cameo style rings are brilliantly hand crafted of sterling silver and rose gold, 14 karat gold and even subtle black diamonds.

The style of the made-to-order rings are quite whimsical and fun, featuring handmade cameo platings of Albert Einstein, Mozart and Slavador Dali, surrounded by black diamonds. I am so very happy and proud to introduce the line to you all and I know it will do quite well. Many of you may not know, Kota was a successfully store owner and designer in New Yorks Lower East Side, before launching OWN Magazine, his style and creative touch will certainly break through in the high-end jewelry market, I mean c’mon were talking black diamonds here!
Good luck Kota!
