“Awa” means Bubble in Japanese. Do you think life is like a bubble. Carried along by the wind in so many directions. So that’s why life is interesting!

Originally a graphic designer, Mika developed her jewellery making skills working with silver. She started designing pieces for her mum but, over time, her mum found heavier weight jewellery less comfortable to wear and some of the clasps and closures difficult to maneuver. Hence the idea of working with softer materials was birthed and Mika started to create with soft non-toxic sponge rubber which is incredibly lightweight. She also included magnetic clasps making the pieces easier to put on and take off. Mika then started to wear her own designs too and was constantly complimented on her pieces and asked if she would sell them. And now she does!

Her designs pair well with minimal or maximal styles
