Danaca Design Showroom
A creative collaboration between Okan Arts and Danaca Design

SEATTLE WA  Take a peek at some of the mini masterpieces created by 20 jewelers invited by Danaca Design—Seattle’s foremost independent jewelry studio—to participate in the biennial Yukata Jewelry Show.

Each artisan jeweler was given one yard of yukata cotton from the Okan Arts collection. Using the bold patterns and lush colors of the Japanese fabric as inspiration, the artists crafted truly unique treasures.

Just like quilters, yukata cottons take jewelry makers to new places in their creative endeavors!
