What Estelle does

ESTELLE HOLDINGS CO., LTD. (TSE Standard: 7872) is a Tokyo-headquartered, publicly listed Japanese holding company that operates one of the country's largest directly-managed jewelry retail networks. The group runs three business segments — jewelry, eyewear, and food/restaurant — under a multi-brand architecture of approximately 25 store brands, with 477 directly-managed stores as of June 2025 (roughly 360 jewelry, 69 eyewear, and 32 food/restaurant in Japan, plus 14 overseas in Vietnam and Cambodia) and ¥312.71 billion in consolidated revenue for the fiscal year ending March 2025.

The company is vertically integrated from upstream raw materials to retail. Upstream, it operates one of the world's largest Akoya pearl oyster farms in Nha Trang, Vietnam (Saigon Pearls Co., Ltd.), gemstone cutting and polishing (HARRY& Co., Ltd.), and in-house jewelry and eyewear frame manufacturing in Vietnamese factories operated by ESTELLE VIETNAM Co., Ltd. and Concept Eyewear Manufacture Vietnam (CEMV). At the brand level, the portfolio spans luxury to mass-market price points: ESTELLE, ESTELLE LUXURY, Veramore di nucleo and Tis in bridal; CUKE, Milluflora, TJ, Mont Rond, SERIELUCE, BLOOM, GOODNESS, and ACCESSORIES BLOSSOM across everyday and fashion jewelry; T.G.C./T.G.C. gallery/TOKYO GLASS COMPANY in three-tier eyewear (¥5,500/¥7,700/¥9,900); Kototoya specialty food and VILLAGE VANGUARD DINER restaurants; plus Tamahana cosmetics and CREST+ hats as adjacent lifestyle extensions. Pricing is transparent at the eyewear and accessories tiers and undisclosed at the jewelry tier.

The go-to-market is sales-led and physical-retail-dominant: 100% directly-operated stores across Japan, Vietnam, and Cambodia, complemented by brand websites (JEWEL GARDEN, BLOOM ONLINE STORE) and third-party marketplaces (ZOZO, Amazon Japan, Rakuten, 0101 LoFt). The company earns primarily through one-time retail transactions across its brand portfolio, with secondary wholesale/OEM revenue from gemstone and eyewear frame sales to external brands, including global eyewear majors via CEMV. Sustainability positioning — lab-grown diamonds, jewelry recycling, TSUNAGU reform services, ISO 9001/14001 certifications at the Vietnam factory, food loss reduction, and ocean/forest conservation — is used as a brand differentiator and ESG credential.
