Plush Diamond Accessories

The Hitokoo Bling! Collection Features Soft Statement Necklaces

— February 4, 2013 — Marketing
The Hitokoo Bling! collection features a series of soft statement accessories that include plush diamond necklaces and matching candy-colored broaches. These vibrant pieces are the work of Canadian designer and artist Hitoko Okada who creates spirited clothing and accessories out of her home town of Hamilton, Ontario.

Exploring our society's obsession with luxury and material wealth, these quirky jewelry pieces feature colorfully printed gem clusters that are made of wool-stuffed fabric. The plush accessories cleverly reinterpret our society's abundant life goals and explore how such goals are often unattainable.

The eye-catching Hitokoo Bling! collection exudes luxury and status without having the hefty price tag of an authentic diamond accessory. These coveted creations are a hipster-approved favorite thanks to their chic aesthetic and clever design concept.
