WILMETTEM IL — Former Wilmette resident and founder of FacetsN Jaya Mukherjee launched her jewelry brand today as a new luxury brand made in Japan and sold online in the United States.

The brand said its pieces bring together high craft artistry, premium materials and contemporary design aimed at everyday wear.

The company said each piece is designed with close attention to proportion, balance and comfort. According to the brand description, that includes earrings that sit close to the ear with secure backings, rings designed to stack seamlessly, and necklaces that lay flat and adjust easily.

FacetsN fine jewelry is created by master artisans in Kofu, west of Tokyo in Japan’s Yamanashi Prefecture, which the company described as the country’s historic jewelry-making center. The brand works in close collaboration with those artisans and applies technical rigor across form, setting and finish.

“After more than a decade living in Tokyo, FacetsN grew out of a deep admiration for Japanese craftsmanship, not as an aesthetic, but as a discipline, where careful decisions shape how jewelry feels, how it sits, and how it fits into daily life,” said Mukherjee. “By working with the country’s master artisans and committing to the highest-quality materials, choosing only premium lab-grown diamonds, platinum, and solid gold, we have an extraordinary foundation. It allows us to design with clarity and confidence, and to explore modern jewelry’s potential when material excellence and thoughtful design come first.”

The brand is debuting with The Solitaire Collection, a lineup of solitaire rings, earrings and necklaces. The company said the collection balances timeless forms with modern precision and is designed to be layered naturally and worn every day.

The name FacetsN refers to diamond facets and what the brand described as the scientific precision behind how a diamond interacts with light. The company said the “N” stands for infinity and reflects design, creativity and possibility.

FacetsN also said it is using lab-grown diamonds and packaging choices designed to reduce environmental impact. As a member of 1% for the Planet, the brand said it will donate at least 1% of annual sales directly to vetted environmental organizations.

The launch marks the brand’s online debut in the United States.
