Wargo Nippon designs, makes and sells accessories with the essence of “WA’s culture.” They specialize in sterling silver jewelry with Chinese dragon, cherry blossom, koi, and samurai helmut designs.  They also use motifs and patterns that are found in traditional Japanese art.  Wargo--a shortened version of the company name, Wagokoro--makes jewelry for both men and women.

On the Wargo English website you can find pendants, rings and earrings as well as other fashion accessories.  They also sell a traditional hair accessory called “kanzashi.” It’s an ornamental stick that you usually see geisha wear with a kimono.  For Hello Kitty fans, Wargo also makes sterling silver Hello Kitty jewelry, but unfortunately it’s not for sale on their website.
