ARTIDA OUD Unveils New Charity Jewelry Collection

In a meaningful collaboration aimed at expanding its charitable initiatives, the renowned jewelry brand ARTIDA OUD (アルティーダ ウード) is launching its fifth installment of the “I am” Donation® plus project, featuring the talented model Kiko Arai. Set to be released on May 1, 2025, at 20:00 in their online store, this new collection draws inspiration from raw beauty, aptly named "Raw Scents of Glimmer."

The collection is a luxurious assemblage of monochrome pieces designed to enhance the inherent allure of the wearer. Each jewelry item is meticulously crafted to exude sophistication while maintaining a softness reminiscent of gentle sunlight and a refreshing breeze—hallmarks of Arai's unique style.

Starting from May 1, 2025, the pieces will be available both online and in select retail stores, with exclusive early access for “I am” Donation® plus members starting April 28, 2025.
