Honolulu Serves as Inspiration for Local Jewellery Designer

Imi Post

Modern, minimalist, and feminine best describe the pieces that make up the Imi Jewellery collection. Designed by local artist Lauren Yamashita, each piece is inspired by her surroundings. Honolulu is a mix of natural beauty and industrial design and the two come together in the Imi line.

In Hawaii, the word imi means “seek” or “hunt”, and in Japanese it translates to “meaning”. This same simplicity is revealed in the Imi collection. Lauren has been designing jewellery for as long as she can remember and the Imi brand has quickly thrust her in to the spotlight.

It is rare to find a designer who is able to create unique eye-catching pieces that even the most conservative among us would be drawn to. Lauren’s jewellery makes a bold statement without being over-bearing.

Made from sterling silver and gold-filled metal, Imi’s modern geometric jewellery designs were created to be worn on their own or layered with other pieces from the line thanks to their adjustable lengths. The collection is elegantly simple yet adds a hint of undeniable style to every day wear.
