Luxury jewelry retailer Tasaki announced on Thursday plans to open its first US standalone store in New York City in 2017. The store opening will mark as the retailer’s first directly run store in the US.

 
Tasaki recently opened a new store at Hong Kong Lee Gardens and a new directly run store in London. The company aims to capitalize on its growing demand and presence in Europe and the US. In the US, Tasaki is currently available at Barneys New York and Dover Street Market in New York City, Ikram in Chicago, The Webster in Miami and Capitol in North Carolina.
 
Founded in 1954, Tasaki began producing and selling pearls domestically before opening a design office in 1962 to create other jewelry designs. In 2009, the company hired Thakoon Panichgul, the New York City-based designer behind his namesake label Thakoon, as Creative Director.

In total, Tasaki is available in 9 countries including the US, England, France, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia.
