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 stone seat with a simple design where the prongs are not conspicuous and connect them together, it will look great as a pendant.
This is a white gold  with diamonds, so I think it will emphasize the cold glow and make it look cool.
 Also I think this stone's color goes well with yellow gold, so I still wonder which way is better.


The color of lavender jade varies from pink to blue, but the valuable untreated shine is usually transparent with a hint of refreshing color. This stone has a refreshing color that looks like a blue haze, so it gives more youthful impression than pinky lavender.

Even though I made a ring prototype, I'm still wondering if a pendant is better.



Jade's color range is really wide, but the stone with refreshing brilliance of this lavender blue is also large enough to double its charm and make it look like a stone that everybody wants very much.


Which way, ring or pendant?

Lavender blue is a very attractive color, so if it's a little smaller, you can wear it with a gorgeous designed brooch.

 I've wanted to make a brooch with lavender blue jade for a long time.



This rare blue-gray rough stone does not even seem to be jade 


This kind of quality can be made into a ring after cutting and polishing.

It is a rare item that is difficult to obtain enough amount, but I would like to work on the design for jewelry in the next fall and winter collection.



Well, what should I do with the 32ct lavender blue?

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...
