Milamore jewelry is crafted from the highest quality materials, using 18K solid gold and created entirely by hand by skilled multi-generational artisans in Japan. Founded in 2019 by George Inaki Root, Milamore is built upon the philosophy of ‘Mended, Not Broken,’ telling a narrative of Wabi-Sabi infused with the spirit of Shokunin—a testament to the art of mastery through time and patience.

Wabi-Sabi teaches us to appreciate the necessary imperfections that come with art created by human hands. Our artisans blend time-honored techniques with select modern innovations, crafting pieces meant to be worn for a lifetime—more than jewelry, but enduring works of art.

For Milamore, craftsmanship is a philosophy that influences every aspect of our creations. We are proud to be advocates for Japanese craftsmanship and the philosophy of Kintsugi, sharing these meaningful creations with the world.

HISTORY OF OUR ATELIER

Milamore continues Azusa Yamato’s family legacy of jewelry-making in Japan. Our atelier traces its roots to the 1920s, beginning as a watchmaking shop in Tokyo’s Asakusa district after WWI before evolving into a jewelry atelier. Today, our craftsmanship thrives in Tokyo and Yamanashi, near the foothills of Mount Fuji—the heart of Japanese artistry.
