【Staff blog】Adorn yourself with April's birthstone, the diamond.
This time, we will be introducing the king of gemstones and the birthstone of April: "Diamond".
With its strong brilliance as its main charm, diamonds are a popular stone for special occasions, of course,
but also for self-rewards and other situations.
At MONAKA, our designer carefully selects and purchases each and every stone.
Among these, we are particularly meticulous about selecting special diamonds.
Our diamonds are unique, chosen from a distinctive perspective that includes not only those considered to be of high value generally,
but also those with outstanding individuality, such as natural diamonds.
Artisans then hand-craft designs onto these diamonds, elevating them into jewelry.
The fact that diamonds are timeless and can be used as heirlooms is another major appeal.
This time, we will pick up diamond items that the Osaka store recommends and that can be viewed "right now" in-store.
For those who want a special diamond, or those looking for a diamond as a gift,
we will introduce one-of-a-kind items that we encourage you to see.
The three diamond rings currently available in-store have such completely different impressions that it's hard to believe they are the same stone.
These three pieces will never get old, each showing a different expression.
・Natural Diamond Ring
Natural diamonds possess a beauty different from that of highly transparent diamonds.
They refer to diamonds that have not been processed, where inclusions formed during the stone's creation process, or naturally occurring patterns and colors, are embraced as unique characteristics.
Since they are formed naturally over a long period, no two are alike, making them ideal for those seeking a unique encounter or
who wish to wear something distinctive.
The first is a large, fluffy, cloudy white natural diamond.
Upon closer inspection, the center is highly transparent, while the outer edges have a mysterious sheer color.
The diamond contains tiny, delicate cracks that sparkle from various angles.
Despite its elaborate design, the soft, gentle sparkle prevents it from looking overly ornamental,
making it a recommended special jewelry piece for everyday wear.
The Rinne design features a row of melee diamonds surrounding it, creating a glamorous effect.
The contrast between the gentle sparkle of the natural diamond and the sharp, strong brilliance of the melee diamonds is irresistible!
This ring is a show-stopper, full of special significance.
The second is a natural diamond with black inclusions and a unique form, giving it an artistic impression.
Iron sulfide crystals may be trapped within the stone during its formation,
or it may contain magnetite and hematite.
The black inclusions sparkle beautifully when they catch the light.
The stone as a whole, with its simple square cut, exhibits a sharp, clear brilliance.
The contrast with the highly transparent clear parts is also wonderful.
With beautiful inclusions and a unique form as its highlight, it is finished with a simple prong setting.
Diamonds often have a gorgeous and extravagant image, but it seems hard to find such designs that are not overly sweet and are easy for everyday wear.
・Diamond Jewelry to Wear as a Set
MONAKA's diamond jewelry, each showcasing diverse personalities, includes two pieces that we particularly recommend wearing as a set, both in terms of design and color.
These two pieces are captivating with their slightly yellowish, gentle shimmer.
They form a set that exudes warmth, distinct from white diamonds.
Combined with the luxurious matte finish of K18YG, which also evokes warmth, the result is an elegant finish.
Their delicate size creates a feminine atmosphere.
This horseshoe-designed ring features a small, round diamond.
The melee diamonds on the clasp further enhance its charm.
This piece also isn't overly ornamental and can be coordinated casually,
yet its transparency and soft yellow hue elegantly illuminate your hand.
This necklace will make your heart flutter with the delicate sparkle emanating from its small diamonds.
It's a piece that beautifully and brightly illuminates the décolletage without being overly assertive.
The K18YG stone setting features milgrain detailing, accentuating the teardrop-shaped diamond.
It's a classic design that is simply irresistible.
This time, we introduced our recommended diamond jewelry currently on display in-store.
Next time, we will continue to introduce diamond order loose stones and more!
We hope you look forward to it ☺︎
The items introduced this time, along with coordinating ideas, are also posted on Instagram!
