❷  Proposal

First, we will ask you about the type of jewelry you request, the design and image, etc.

Don't worry if you don't have an image at all.

Please answer some questions and I will make a suggestion.

For example

☑ What do you want to make, such as rings, pendants, and earrings?

☑ What kind of scene is it used for everyday use, parties, etc.

☑ How big do you like?

☑ What kind of image do you like for your design, such as simple, flowing, elegant, and solid with a strong presence?

We will answer some of these questions and work on them little by little. Customers who did not have an image at all when they first consulted will gradually develop an image as they answer.

At this stage, we may exchange many times, but you can request it free of charge.

It is also possible to bring a copy of the design that is close to the image.

Based on the customer's request, we will propose one to several rough designs and photos for free, and then gradually work out the designs from there.

Self-introduction:

Name: Takahiko Tatsuno.

I spent my school days in Kanagawa prefecture in Japan.

I have start working a fashion accessories maker. While working I lived by myself in Tokyo for about 4 years.

Now, I'm living in Cairns with my wife and son.

1995

I have been good at making things for a long time. And I enrolled in Japan Design College with the aim of becoming a furniture craftsman.

But I was attracted to the charm of jewelry making, not furniture. 

At that time my classmate ordered custom-made jewelry, picked it up and shined her eyes, and saw that she were very happy, I was shocked that making things could make people so happy. 

Then I dreamed became a jewelry craftsman, and one day I wanted to have a store.

1997

After graduating, while making silver jewelry as a hobby, through hard work at a fashion accessory maker in Tokyo, I thought that English and a personal computer would definitely be necessary in the future, so I decided to learn English first.

2001

Coming to Cairns on a working holiday.

A place to start where I can't speak English at all and I don't know anyone.

Pleasure that all common sense is overturned. I started my stay in Australia with a lot of experience that made me feel like a few days a day.

One day, my host family suddenly tried to introduce a friend to me, and I was taken to a jewellery shop.

Then he suddenly start talking to the staff. Taka is looking for a job.

I didn't say I wanted to work at all！

However, this shop was the store I was looking for if I could have one someday.

I thought it might be good to learn a lot here, so I decided to work at this shop a month later. Destiny is interesting.

2002

Finished working holiday and returned to Japan.

2003

Return to Cairns to work at the same shop again and getting a business visa, I started working in earnest. After a 10-year period of work, Jewellery Taka was established in December 2013.

I'm passionate about making things and always doing the best job.

I make high quality jewellery  and finish each item carefully.

I will continue to devote myself and evolve every day so that customers will be pleased and show the best smiles.
