Hoi Yi Lai
Like words of a written language, my jewellery is my language; it is like the words of stories I want to share. Like a book, each piece of jewellery is a page or a chapter; Kotoba Jewellery is like a book that I share to resonate with others in different ways.
It is my inspiration to translate words into wearable art jewellery that can be worn as an everyday vehicle for self-expression, to connect, comfort, and empower the wearer to embrace the beauty and value that exists within everyone.
My Jewellery is Nothing without You, the wearer. Just as a book is nothing without its reader.
