Hi there! I'm Maxine, an illustrator and jewelry designer, but you probably know me as "Kouri," short for my tag "kouriimei."I draw and make pretty things as a hobby, to share what I love with others because stories, and their journeys, are meant to be shared and enjoyed together. Endeavoring in capturing a singular moment of what cannot be said and what could only be felt is something I've always enjoyed.I hope you enjoy your stay, and thank you for stopping by. ✨

Jewelry Care

To prolong your jewelry life and durability


  • Handle with love and care ♡
    Each jewelry piece was delicately handcrafted by me, and while I do my best to make things as sturdy as possible, some things tend to break more easily than others. This would be: Czech glass, delicate chains, and tiny jump rings.

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to sun, water, and chemicals
    Please do not use lotion, or similar products, over jewelry/metals. This will cause durability to decrease.
    Prolonged exposure to sun (eg placing jewelry next to the window) can cause metals to fade over time.

  • Store in a cool, dry place.
    Earrings will naturally tarnish because they are gold-plated or rhodium-plated. These materials will naturally tarnish in humidity, long/repetitive exposure to water, etc., so when not in use, place in its original microfiber bag or in a cool, dry place.

  • If tarnishing occurs, use a jewelry cleaning cloth.
    As much as I wish jewelry plating doesn't tarnish, it will as time goes on. You can care for your jewelry by purchasing a jewelry polishing cloth and occasionally using it to polish. Not only will it prolong life, but it will also give it a lovely sheen.
    Alternatively, gently wipe with a damp cloth or tissue.

  • Please do not forcefully tug on jewelry parts.

  • If your piece breaks or tarnishes within 30 days, please let me know, so that we can work out a solution together! ♡ Please note that photos will be required.
