MCI JEWELRY Expands to Japan
Los Angeles is not just the heart of the entertainment industry but also a hub for unique and captivating jewelry. MCI JEWELRY, a brand closely tied to the vibrant K-POP scene, is making its way to Japan. Starting August 8, 2026, shoppers can find their stunning pieces at NUBIAN, a well-known select shop that resonates with fashion enthusiasts.
The Vision Behind MCI JEWELRY
Led by the talented jeweler June Kim, MCI JEWELRY specializes in both fine and custom jewelry. The brand is celebrated for its outstanding craftsmanship, offering both exquisite fine pieces and one-of-a-kind custom designs. MCI JEWELRY has gained a loyal following among celebrities and K-POP stars, including notable figures like G-DRAGON and TAEYANG from the iconic group BIGBANG.
One memorable moment that solidified MCI JEWELRY's status was its connection with BIGBANG during the highly-acclaimed Coachella festival. After a nine-year hiatus, BIGBANG performed on stage, adorned with jewelry from MCI JEWELRY, capturing the attention of audiences worldwide. This collaboration highlighted the intersection of music, fashion, and jewelry—elements that define the MCI JEWELRY experience.
Unique Artistry and Design
What sets MCI JEWELRY apart is its use of luxurious materials combined with elements from street and music culture. Each piece transcends mere decoration; they are extensions of the wearer's personality and style. The upcoming collection in Japan will feature fashion jewelry that seamlessly integrates these concepts into everyday styling. From casual daily wear to standout statement pieces, MCI JEWELRY is set to offer a wide range of items that cater to diverse tastes.
Highlighted pieces include:

Bridging Cultures: From LA to Japan
In today's world, K-POP significantly influences global music and fashion, with jewelry playing a crucial role in artists' styling on stage and in music videos. MCI JEWELRY, with its rich history of collaborating with various artists, represents that shift. Launching in Japan through NUBIAN—celebrating its 20th anniversary—is a monumental step for the brand. NUBIAN has long been at the forefront of Japan's street fashion and hip-hop scene, fostering connections with domestic and international artists and creators.
Their recognition extends to K-POP artists and global musicians who seek to explore a blend of music and fashion. Thus, MCI JEWELRY's launch at NUBIAN is not just a retail endeavor; it is a symbolic expression of intertwined cultures, resonating with fans and fashion lovers alike.
In a beautifully synchronized timeline, NUBIAN also celebrates its milestone alongside BIGBANG, which is set to embark on its world tour, "BIGBANG 2026-2027 WORLD TOUR < XX: COSMOS >," starting from Goyang, South Korea on August 21.
