Founder & Designer

Rie Harui
At the age of 17, the designer moved to Los Angeles, where exposure to the vibrant scenes of rave, punk, festivals, and skate culture as well as an encounter that led her to a passion for jewelry. Under the tutelage of Guillaume Pajolec, a founding member of Chrome Hearts, the designer mastered wax carving and began exploring self-expression through jewelry design. After obtaining the prestigious Gemologist title from GIA, the designer pursued further studies in traditional jewelry at LA HAUTE ECOLE DE JOAILLERIE in Paris, France.

Returning to Japan, the designer collaborated with adidas AG, contributing to the accessory designs for “Y-3” as a freelance designer.
In 2018, RIEFE JEWELLERY was established. In 2020, the designer was appointed as the creative director for Yohji Yamamoto’s jewelry collection, Yohji Yamamoto by RIEFE. Balancing roles as a mother and creative director, the designer continues to lead both brands with unwavering dedication.

In 2023, the designer hosted the inaugural music event, “RIEFE SETS,” continually exploring new dimensions of creativity.
