Stephanos is delighted to announce our new website!

We are so pleased to announce the launch of our newly designed website!

Firstly l want to say a special thank you to Mina Hatano-Kirsch for designing our website, what a wonderful look you have created for us, we love it. I also want to thank all of our promoters around the world. Thank You! for the love and the pleasure you give to fans of Stephanos. And, Thank You! Sangeet Weissenberger in South East Asia for your amazing work with Stephanos. I am so grateful to see Stephanos’ jewelry on so many gorgeous women around the world, what a beautiful adventure we are having together. I just love being part of this with you all every day.

For as long as l remember, l have been into fashion, interior design and of course jewelry. My family are creative, mom designs and produces the most beautiful quilts which have been displayed around the world, she is currently busy with her second book. Mina my sister, is an architect, graphic designer, web designer and just simply a woman with great style and a gift for what looks amazing.

We are a very international family, l was born in the USA, moved and grew up in Tokyo and have lived and worked in Asia, Europe, and the USA. My husband grew up in the UK but has also lived and worked all over. When our first son was born in Tokyo it was a difficult birth and he was quickly diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. My husband and I decided to try various alternative treatments to help him. This was a fascinating time, traveling the world, visiting many countries, meeting wonderful people, experiencing cultures and trying the different types of therapies that were not in the mainstream. This journey ultimately empowered and emboldened me to do something more. In 2006 I gathered my thoughts, experiences and emotions and started “Stephanos” an expression of who I am, how l feel and of thanks for this life we live. I hope you love Stephanos as much as we do.

We moved to California in 2016 in the beautiful beach town, The City of Art, Laguna Beach. It’s a wonderful new home for our family, for Stephanos, our life and reaching out to the future.

I hope you fall in love with Stephanos as much as we have.

Love From 

Miki

待望のステファノスのWEBサイトがいよい始動いたしました！

ステファノスの最新デザインジュエリーを芸術の街、カリフォルニア州ラグーナビーからWEBサイトでご紹介出来るようになりました。

オーナー兼デザイナーであるラティマー美樹はニュージャージーで生まれ、東京育ち。母は国際的に活躍するキルトデザイナー。姉はニューヨークをベースにする建築家でありWeb designer。思い起こすと、幼少の頃より芸術、ファッションに深く興味を持って育ちました。

大学卒業後はジェトロ（日本貿易振興機構）にてODA事業対象国での見本市担当。その後外資系CAとしてアジアを拠点とし、世界各国へのフライトを担当。色彩豊かな異文化、人々との掛替えの無い出会いに感銘を受けました。

生前外資系企業のCEOであった父の影響もあり幼い頃よりグローバルな視点で国籍を超えてビジネスに携わることを夢見てきました。イギリス国籍の夫と結婚後、生後脳性麻痺と診断された長男の療養のため世界を訪ね、励まされ、勇気付けてくれた家族の『歩み』に後押しされ、天然石とパールの魅力と共にジュエリーブランドStephanosを立ち上げる決意を致しました。

2006年のブランド設立以来、ステファノスを支えてくださった様々な国からのお客様方を始め、日本、アジア各国で活躍するステファノスのプロモーターの方々のご協力には感謝の気持ちをお伝えしきれません。これからも皆様と共に歩み続けるステファノスをどうぞ宜しくお願いいたします。
