Yuki visited Okinawa, Japan where the beautiful white beaches are made from dead corals and their sands. She has picked up coral pieces from there and kept them in a box. She discovered them in her cabinet a couple years later and realised they should have been shown as a part of the nature rather than staying in a box! Since then Yuki has been creating the 'White Coral Beach' collection inspired from corals’ various unique textures, shapes and how they were originally gathering on the beach.

Yuki Sasakura Assiter is from Kamakura, Japan and has lived and worked in London since 2004. All jewellery is designed and handmade by Yuki at her workshop in Hatton Garden, London’s jewellery district. Her process includes traditional jewellery making techniques, cutting, forming, texturing and soldering in gold and silver to build unique shapes often combined with stones to add colour and composition. Some work such as casting and engraving are carried out by independent businesses local to the London area. The sterling silver, 9ct and 18ct gold and gemstones used in Yuki’s jewellery are mainly sourced from well respected independent UK based companies. All precious metals are recycled, Yuki often melts precious metal scraps and grains down herself to create new jewellery. Other materials like shells and dead corals were picked up by Yuki and have been kept in boxes for years.
