We Reproduce Popular Gentian flower Carvings.

-
In the openwork carving of jade in the past, the gentian flower motif was particularly popular with Westerners at our show room.

I don't know if Westerners recognize this as a gentian flower, but I think most Westerners who like jade are attracted to the delicate carving work and purchase it .

Jade is unique since even such thin lines are durable as jewelry. Jade has a structure in which minerals are fibrous form and interlocking each other, so the stone has "stickiness" and is famous for being hard to crack. If a delicate motif like this is made from scratch-resistant crystalline gemstones such as diamonds and rubies, it will crack unless handled very carefully. Crystals are not suitable for openwork carving because they will break into pieces.

Jade is strong.

Well, I made a reproduction of such a popular gentian fretwork earring.

Why gentian flowers?

There are various legends about gentian, but it is very famous as "a flower that calls for love". So I made these earrings with that meaning.

I've seen this description before.


It is believed that wearing jewelry with the motif of gentian flowers will bring various blessings.

First, the gentian flower is famous as a symbol of love. It is believed that wearing jewelry with gentian flower motifs will bring good luck in love and romance. The gentian flower is also a flower that represents sincerity and purity. Therefore, it is said that by wearing jewelry with a gentian flower motif, one can purify one's mind and body and gain a sense of mental stability.

In addition, the gentian flower is also known as an auspicious flower. It is said that by wearing jewelry with the gentian flower motif, you can receive benefits such as good matchmaking, good health, and good fortune. Gentian flowers are also believed to be a gift from the mountain god. It is said that you can express your respect for nature by wearing jewelry with a gentian flower motif.

As mentioned above, by wearing jewelry with gentian flower motifs, you can obtain various benefits such as love, romance, purity, good luck and respect for nature.



　It's amazing. I highly praise jewelry with a gentian motif.　

Those who collect jade are probably those who: 
1) seek asset value in jade jewelry, 
2) expect the power of jade as a power stone, and
3) Seek beauty as a work of art.
 so I try to give meanings to the carving of jade as much as possible.

The gentian flower motif used to be produced knowing that there is a legend like the above.
The Jade carving  master, who is Burmese and who might have never seen this flower before, was shown a 3D wax sample and a photograph to get an idea of ​​the atmosphere of the flower. because it is a delicate line.


This is a clip type. Clip type earrings are rare in Artline earrings, but we made two types of earrings for this motif: pierce type and clip type.

These earrings are perfect for the coming season.


The metal fittings are 14K gold and are quite solid.

It is a little art item that I would recommend to those who seek individuality.

Well then!

One of the items we receive many inquiries is a ring with three Akoya pearls. Pearls are 7-7.5mm round very high quality ones. They were available in two colors, untreated natural golden and white. They used to be made of 18K gold, but unfortunately it is no longer in stock. In the near future, we plan to resell a ring with the same design and pearls of the same quality, but since we are planning to use 10K gold, the price will be slightly lower. Everything else is exactly the same. Although only Japanese size JPN14 is available, we have decided to start displaying the two samples (white and golden) that we produced as samples starting next week. We apologize for the size limitations, but we can recommend it to those who fit the size. There are only two JPN14. I think I can handle it with some size adjustments. In addition to these two items, the following rings will be included. It's a pretty impressive ring, but it's a South Sea semi-round 13mm and 12mm ring. The size is JPN1...

March 10 2023 On a quiet Sunday afternoon, I went to  the opposite bank of the Chao Phraya River  to take a walk for exercising in an unknown place that was  close and easy to reach.  Take the BTS to  Krung Thonburi station, transfer to the monorail  and get off at Khlong San station,and   enter the narrow road beside the Bangkok bank  then head towards the river.  It was said that  there was a local market, but most of the stalls were  empty probably because of the covid 19 epidemic.   I kept walking closer to the river, I found a  warehouse-like building .  It is a simple black-painted  old building, Sign says" The Jam Factory" .   It may have been a warehouse in the past because  it is close to the pier.   I saw the light inside, so I entered. it is a gallery of well designed furniture and lighting.    There is a cafe and a bookstore in the back.   There were m...

Although it is a natural opal, black opal whose background color is darkened by smoke is sold in Bangkok, but there are various problems in its processing, and polishing craftsmen continue to be troubled to solve them. If you search the net, you will find only negative things, such as the natural play-of-color (play-of-color effect) disappears when you polish it, or it becomes dark like a cloud and cannot be repaired. I asked for professional opinion, but I didn't get an answer because smoke treatment is done in Africa not in Bangkok. Our  craftsmen have been working on this for weeks,  but it seems that they haven't fully mastered the technique yet. However, the answer   seems to have come to light only recently. Of course, choosing good quality is the first step, but making beautiful things shine more beautifully is depends on craftsmanship. It finally came true with this black opal. That's how Sheen  got a stunning black opal ring and pendant. I would like to...
