IKUKO KATO is the creator of distinctive and beautiful “COCO KATO” jewellery.

Since 2001, Ikuko has been based in London, after being born and raised in Japan. This cross-cultural heritage has been a major influence on her designs. She incorporates a highly refined taste and sensitivity to the subtleties of her craft with a love for doing the unthinkable and trying the unknown. “COCO KATO” designs are always exciting and ambitious, and their emphasis ultimately lies in attention to detail, craftsmanship, innovation and expression.


Ikuko is always looking for ways to introduce the unexpected into small details within her jewellery. Her experimental nature leads her to break away from traditional structures to create jewellery that is innovative and startling.
Just one way in which this manifest itself is Ikuko’s love for uniting material in unusual ways.

That her designs manage to achieve such originality is due in part to Ikuko’s background in fashion. Named ‘Designer of the Year’ by the prestigious Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo, her career was nurtured at Tokyo’s renowned ISSEY MIYAKE fashion house, and this has had a big impact on her designs. Ikuko has an increased sensitivity to materials and design as well as balance and harmony, and enjoys a certain freedom from jewellery conventions.
