Dr MONROE is a Japanese silver accessories brand founded in Nagoya in 1990. Masakazu Ito is involved as its designer, and the brand offers a wide range of original jewelry, including rings, pendants, bracelets, and ear cuffs. With “love,” “peace,” “freedom,” “equality,” and “courage” as its themes, the brand handles everything from design and material selection to production and finishing through collaboration between its own workshop and designated craftspeople. It also incorporates techniques ranging from traditional methods to laser technology and 3D CAD. Its concept is “the aesthetic of restraint,” and its designs eschew excessive ornamentation and are intended to be worn for a long time.
