After graduating from Musashino Art University in Tokyo, Eri Thakekawa moved to France. There, she studied under Paris-based jewelry designer Geraldine Luttenbacher and also graduated from AFEDAP, a jewelry school. In 2008, Eri participated in The Box-Paris trade show, and then moved back to Japan where she started her own fine jewelry line that she named Salet.
