Each sustainably-cultured Akoya pearl gives a timeless appearance to this unique product series.

eoIPSO’s pearls originate from Japan’s Ago Bay, an island-dotted bay with an extraordinarily beautiful rugged coastline, located at the southern tip of the Shima Peninsula in Mie prefecture. This is where Japan's historical and traditional pearl cultivation began in 1893, and it remains Japan's most famous pearl farming location today. We work closely with local pearl farmers and the regional pearl association to create a sustainable and outstanding product range for the eoIPSO brand.

The history of pearls from Ago Bay in Ise Shima

Ago Bay is located in Ise Shima National Park, Japan's first national park, in Mie prefecture in central Japan. The area is famous for the beautiful scenery of its ria coast and the rich abundance of its marine products, as well as its long history. 

Tokyo Metropolis is where eoIPSO products are created and designed. Although Tokyo's 400 year history is very short compared to other Japanese cities, it has become one of the largest cities in the world. It has been the center of political power in Japan since the Edo era, and the official capital since 1868, when the Emperor Meiji moved to the city and changed its name from Edo to Tokyo. The common people of Edo had a high level of literacy, thanks to a system of schools that provided basic education for the children of commoners. A rich popular culture blossomed in the city, and it became the center of a mature capitalist economy during the Edo era. In the Meiji period Tokyo was at the forefront of Japan's structural reforms and its active engagement with the West. The popular culture of old Edo coexisted and interacted with Western culture, gradually forming the diverse and dynamic city of today.

Inspired and influenced by this vibrant city where ancient and modern, liberal and conservative, East and West all coalesce, the strategy and designs of the eoIPSO brand are created here in Tokyo. Each product is carefully designed with the needs and values of customers in mind. Our goal is to offer a luxurious and elegant product lineup that fulfills the expectations of both men and women for a superior jewelery series. To ensure high quality standards each product development runs through various design and testing phases, including concept sketching, prototyping in close cooperation with the craftsmen involved, and product testing before the final product is created.

We use handcrafted sustainable wooden boxes to package each of our products.
