Sheen by Artline Jewelry Brog

Recently, there is a stone that both our craftsmen and I have become obsessed with. Everyone knows that stone. It's turquoise. I was just thinking to myself that the first piece of jewelry I ever owned when I was young (really young)  was a silver ring with a turquoise inlay. Unlike ruby, sapphire, and jade, I've never really thought about the value of turquoise as a gemstone, and I've always thought that it's a beautiful color for ornaments.  But for some reason which is offered by our customer, I've recently become very interested in turquoise. I'm starting to get curious.　 There is a saying that often appears on YouTube from people who are successful at business ``The way to instantly increase your luck is to make the area around your face shine brightly.'' From the perspective of foreigners, Japanese people's faces are too plain and dark.  When I looked back on myself, I realized that this may indeed be the case. Sheen's Japanese customers of...

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...

 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...

 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...

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...
