many couples refer to the lucky moment when they met. ivan has one of those stories about how he found our newest bridal designer, satoru. was it love at first sight? well, there was certainly an instant attraction to satoru's incredible rings...
ivan tells of walking into a jewelry store in his travels and being struck by the young designer's work. he wasn't at a trade show; he wasn't looking to find anyone new. but he spotted satoru's work and knew it belonged in our store. interestingly, satoru had launched his business and researched jewelry stores and had actually targeted i. gorman as one of the top stores he'd like to approach to carry his rings. thus began a match made in heaven.
when you see satoru's akatsuki collection, you'll understand. you'll see what ivan saw. you, too, will appreciate the subtlety of the design, the attention to detail, the precision of a ruby aligned with a diamond, the clean japanese lines and technical perfection of it all.
and when you talk to satoru, which you'll be able to do at the ultimate ring event on april 12 and 13, you'll learn that he's totally easygoing and open – just a cool, interesting guy. he'll tell you how he's intrigued by shape, why his rings are so architectural, and the fascinating story behind the dense, heavy wood from guatemala used in his lignum wedding band collection. and you may not be able to resist ordering a matched pair as your own rings.
