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.

Image
 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...

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...

 I think many Japanese people may think of 800 years old Japanese  story "The Tale of the Heike" when they hear the word "sal tree flower".  when I  made jewelry with that flower motif  for the  first time was 7-8 years ago .   For this summer, we have created a new bangle with a different finish and a slightly redesigned Sala Soju ring (twin sal tree ring). The bracelet I made before has become a part of my arm, and I wear it every day when I go to work. I think people who come to Sheen think, "You always wear the same bracelet. You really like it." When I return to Japan, I wear it all the time, mainly in the spring and summer, and it is like a talisman. The flower of the sal tree is a flower that has been talked about for a long time in history. For example, in the famous classical mythology of India, the tree where the goddess sits on is this tree. The flower is said to be a symbol of prosperity. In Buddhism, it is said that when Buddha was born, t...

White Jadeite bangle for a heat wave

Image
    This morning, around 6 o'clock, I opened the window on the balcony a little, and I was surprised to see a hot breeze blowing in, even though I was expecting a cool breeze. Around 7 o'clock, the temperature in Bangkok's Sathorn area was already 39 degrees, and when I went out to the parking lot, it got even hotter and made me feel dizzy. Was it this hot last year? ? ? I think it's the heat that I've never felt before. Since I've been coming to the showroom in the hot afternoon like this, I want to recommend cool jewelry this time of year. Jade which is famous for its coolness is p erhaps related to the fact that jade is hard to crack (high hardness) and has high thermal conductivity. When you touch the surface of the stone, you will feel the coldness as if it had just been taken out of the refrigerator. Jade bangles are one of the items that I hesitate to sell online or by mail order because the size is delicate, so Sheen only introduces it to the customers w...

Reproduction of a Jadeite and Sapphire ring.

Image
  It was designed about 20 years ago, but I remember that at that time many unique jade products like this were born in our Artline factry. I really liked this design, but the ring was sold out and I had the brooch instead as my personal belongings, but it went missing with my winter clothes... I'm still looking for it in Japan and Thailand as well. So I made a reproduction version of the ring. As a bee lover, I used acorns sometimes  as a motif other than bees in my jewelry. When making jade jewelry, I try to incorporate various legends and traditional lucky things into my designs, but another important point is that jade itself gives off a strong impression of conservativeness, so, I would like to add some modern and European taste to it. There are many legends about acorns, bees, roses and vines in Europe. These are my favorite things to make into jewelry. I made only one ring this time, so I put in a very beautiful imperial jade. The another one of the twin acorn is filled...
