Founder of three x seven Jewelry
Award-Winning Designer
Born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan, amidst its breathtaking natural landscapes and rich cultural traditions, Asuka Saito, the founder and award-winning designer of three x seven Jewelry, has always harbored a unique sensibility deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetics. This profound appreciation for Japan's vibrant nature and traditional cultures, offering a kaleidoscope of colors through the changing seasons, has significantly influenced her creative pursuits in the world of art and unique jewelry design from an early age.
Her commitment to ethical sourcing and the environment took her beyond the design table; In 2022, three x seven Jewelry became Fairmined licensed, and in 2023, Asuka visited Fairmined gold mines, meeting with the miners and witnessing the mining processes firsthand. These experiences have profoundly influenced her approach to jewelry making, ensuring that every piece of three x seven Jewelry not only embodies artistic excellence but also respects the people and the planet.
Starting her career in San Francisco at a long-standing jewelry company, Asuka's designs have gained international recognition. With a vision to foster harmonious development with society, she founded three x seven Jewelry, merging modern design with an unwavering commitment to quality, sustainability, and the well-being of communities involved in the production process.
Through three x seven Jewelry, Asuka aspires to make a meaningful impact, crafting pieces that uphold the values of environmental consciousness, social responsibility, and timeless beauty, aiming for a brighter future for all.
"... Every piece we create is a step towards a world where beauty and ethics shine together, illuminating smiles across the globe."

three x seven Jewelry is a San Francisco-based sustainable jewelry brand, dedicated to creating pieces that embody beauty, emotion, and ethical values. At the heart of our efforts is a desire to deliver jewelry that brings smiles to everyone involved—from the hands that craft each piece to the lives they touch.
Our ethos is defined by two core principles:
- Connection Through Jewelry: We believe in crafting pieces that do more than just adorn. Our jewelry serves as a bridge, connecting the unseen emotions with the tangible beauty of each piece. It's not just an accessory; it's a repository of personal stories, emotions, and meanings, making it a cherished part of the owner's life. This connection is our way of spreading smiles, ensuring that every piece not only shines but also brings joy and significance to its wearer.
- Ethical and Harmonious Development: Our commitment extends beyond aesthetics. We are dedicated to ethical practices that positively impact people, society, and the environment. From careful selection of low-impact materials to ensuring a positive working environment for those who mine and craft our jewelry, we aim to tackle social issues and promote a sustainable and harmonious future. It's our belief that a truly beautiful piece of jewelry is one that contributes to the happiness and well-being of all those it touches.
"...We provide jewelry that brings smiles to the faces of everyone involved."
