Four-leaf clover Jadeite pendant for summer

Image
 We have received a lot of inquiries about pendants, probably because it is the season when clothes that open the chest are comfortable. In particular, the gentle shine of jade is not as flashy as the sparkling crystals, but it gives you a sense of security as if you are wearing a lucky charm, so you will definitely want to take it with you anytime, anywhere. One of the most popular items at this time of year is the four-leaf clover openwork. The openwork lines are thin but surprisingly strong. High-quality jade has few spots and has an ice-like transparency, so it is possible to carve delicate details that are fragile with other minerals. Today, we made two pieces of four-leaf clover for the first time in three years. Both the pendant head and bracelet have 14K yellow gold parts. It's a green that looks great on a white T-shirt. It makes me feel happy just by wearing it. Since the length can be adjusted, it can be used for a wide range of arms. In addition, the pair shape  Im...

The stone with refreshing lavender blue color.

 When I was looking for a lavender jade,  I happened to see the one  that had been left as it is for some new item,  The lavender jade has  plump looking, well-shaped, fresh and youthful color, and is so large that it seems to almost protrude from the finger.   I was wondering why I left it unfinished even though I made the prototype. I have handled a variety of large lavender jade, but this one is quite large, so when I weighed it, It was much bigger than expected Even if the rough stone has darker color,  after cutting,  usually  the color becomes much lighter.  It is rare to find something that has such transparency and color as in the photo. The reason why the ring production did not proceed was that one day when the prototype was almost completed, I wondered if a pendant of this stone size would be better or not. It may be what I thought. I found a unused bail with diamonds , so I tried to match it. I think that if I make a sto...

Back to Bangkok from Tokyo.

On the last day of my stay in Tokyo, I had a meeting at Shop Channel, so I stopped by Takashimaya in Nihonbashi before that. Hibiya Kadan flower shop has a lot of gorgeous seasonal flowers such as hydrangeas. I put peony buds around my favorite dahlia, and with the professional opinions of the Hibiya Kadan staff, I was able to create a bouquet of my choice. I sent flowers to the person in charge at the shop channel for a long time who is leaving the company because of moving to Spain followed by her marriage. The flower shop made the bouquet so cute that I wanted one myself. I hope she was happy with it. . . s After finishing the last day's meeting, I returned to Bangkok the next day. Some customer told me that Mr. Sano came to Japan with the typhoon and returned to Bangkok with the typhoon! It was absolutely true , and it was a swaying flight both going and returning. I felt relieved when I saw the night view from my home in Bangkok.  It was raining heavily on my whole round trip ...

At midnight on June 3rd, it was raining heavily in Toyo-cho, where the studio is located, and it was almost impossible to walk outside.   Since it was a late-night live, I stayed at a hotel near Shop Channel, but when I turned on the TV in my hotel room, the news of heavy rain damage was all over the place in Japan. I thought before the live, it would be impossible to go to a live show in such a situation. I was worried that the river near my house in Numazu might flood, and there were many customers in the Chubu area, which was likely to be heavily damaged. In such an uneasy situation, we were able to finish the live safely with the encouragement of many customers. As always, thank you very much to all of you. On behalf of all the craftsmen in Bangkok, I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Even though the weather was so rough on the day of the live,,,,, The next day,  the storm stopped. It was like a storm aimed to hit a my live show. . . . . There were many people who had...
