What Tasaki does

Tasaki & Co., Ltd. is a vertically-integrated Japanese luxury jewelry house founded in 1954 and headquartered in Kobe, operating as a subsidiary of TASAKI Holdings, Inc. The company controls its full supply chain from pearl aquaculture — operating Akoya oyster farms in Kujukushima and Ise-Shima producing over 4 million oysters annually — through diamond cutting, jewelry manufacturing, and global retail. Tasaki is a De Beers Sightholder, ensuring Kimberley-certified clean diamond supply, and applies proprietary grading systems including a 6-tier pearl quality classification and a 100% 3EX (Triple Excellent) diamond cut standard exceeding GIA benchmarks. Its portfolio spans the iconic balance collection (launched 2010, registered as a 3D trademark), the danger and chants collection lines, bridal jewelry, watches, leather goods, and — as of October 2025 — a fragrance line, TASAKI HAUTE PARFUMERIE.

Tasaki serves affluent consumer segments including bridal jewelry buyers, luxury fashion consumers, high-net-worth collectors, and contemporary design-oriented buyers, through a hybrid DTC model combining directly-managed boutiques in Japan and internationally, an 8-subsidiary regional structure spanning East Asia, Europe, and Southeast Asia, multi-language e-commerce on tasaki-global.com, and Farfetch marketplace distribution. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed publicly, consistent with luxury positioning; the company also provides after-sales services including lifetime free restringing of pearl necklaces. Headcount sits in the 651–747 range (FY2021–FY2022), with 33% of management positions held by women as of October 2022.

The business is in an active expansion phase: March 2026 brought a management overhaul appointing former Chanel Japan Head Richard Collasse as Group CEO with an explicit global expansion mandate, and 2025–2026 saw new category launches in fragrance, metal jewelry, and the refreshed balance 2026 line. The company holds proprietary material IP in SAKURAGOLD™ (a cherry-blossom-inspired pink gold alloy) and pursues collaborative high-jewelry partnerships with Ritz Paris and designers including Thakoon Panichgul, Fiona Krüger, and Niccolò Pasqualetti.

Core offering

Tasaki is a vertically integrated Japanese luxury jeweler that designs, manufactures, and retails high-end pearl, diamond, and colored gemstone jewelry. The company operates its own Akoya pearl farms in Kujukushima and Ise-Shima, grades pearls using a proprietary six-tier system, achieves 100% 3EX diamond cutting, and sells branded jewelry (balance, danger, chants, PIANO, M/G TASAKI, TASAKI Atelier, RITZ PARIS par TASAKI) alongside watches, fragrance, leather goods, and bridal collections through directly managed boutiques and e-commerce.

Product overview

TASAKI is a Japanese luxury jewellery brand offering a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality pearl, diamond, and coloured gemstone jewellery. The core product architecture centers on three main collection lines: the iconic 'balance' collection (launched 2010) featuring minimalist pearl designs, the bold 'danger' collection expressing dramatic elegance, and the artistic 'chants' collection. Supporting these are the PIANO collection, SAKURAGOLD™ (proprietary pink gold alloy), and extensive pearl and diamond jewellery lines. TASAKI also offers high jewellery through TASAKI Atelier and the RITZ PARIS par TASAKI collaboration, plus complementary categories including watches, fragrances (TASAKI HAUTE PARFUMERIE launched 2025), leather goods, bridal jewellery, and the contemporary M/G TASAKI sub-brand. The company maintains vertical integration from pearl farming through jewellery craftsmanship, using only 3EX-cut diamonds and TASAKI Quality pearls, with less than 2% of TASAKI Quality pearls meeting the standard for use in balance and danger collections.
