【staff blog】Beauty in its natural state ˚✧₊ The allure of natural diamonds.
We are currently holding a “Rough stone horse shoe top” custom order event at our Osaka store.
This event allows you to order a horseshoe-design pendant top featuring your choice of rough diamond stones.
In conjunction with the event, we have received one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that utilize "natural diamonds" and "rough diamonds" to preserve their natural beauty!
You might be wondering, what exactly are "natural diamonds" or "rough diamonds"?
"Natural diamonds" refer to diamonds that have not undergone any artificial coloring or treatment; they utilize the natural shapes, hues, and inclusions that were formed in the earth.
Furthermore, a "rough diamond" is a diamond in its mined, unrefined, and unpolished state. Unlike the glittering stones you see in shops, they may have irregular shapes, appear dull like frosted glass, or look like common pebbles.
We would like to highlight three diamond tops and a pair of earrings today.
First, these small heart earrings where gray inclusions sparkle from within.
You can see the gray inclusions floating inside as if they were fluffy.
The prong setting allows plenty of light to enter, which is a lovely feature that makes it easy to see inside the stone despite its small size.
While a heart motif often leaves a sweet impression, using a natural diamond blended with dark colors gives it a mature and cute look that isn't too saccharine...♡
These earrings are quintessential MONAKA: they aren't overly ostentatious, but instead turn the inherent beauty of the natural stone into jewelry.
The size is just small enough to fit on your earlobe when worn.
This tiny size is another point that is sure to make your heart flutter.
Sizes are [0.46ct] for the one in front (↑) and [0.24ct] for the one in the back; these are sold as single earrings.
Next are these three pieces, each with a unique, one-of-a-kind character.
All of these tops subtly incorporate the "horseshoe" motif.
The simple design, with its matte, warm texture, really brings out the individuality of the stones.
This one also features hazy, black inclusions throughout.
Because of the deep black color, it has a sharper, more defined look than the earrings mentioned earlier.
It’s lovely to wear this together with the aforementioned earrings for a cohesive look.
While this top is on the smaller side at 0.24ct, the deep dark color makes it stand out on your skin.
The inclusions look as if a deep orange color is melting into a translucent orange base.
It possesses a warmth that you don't find in the intensely sparkling diamonds usually seen in jewelry.
You can also enjoy the subtle, gentle shimmer that diamonds naturally possess, as if it’s glowing from within.
This top is 0.47ct. Its trilliant cut gives it a lovely, swaying movement.
Finally, we introduce the rough diamond top.
With its rugged surface texture and varying color intensity, you can truly appreciate the beauty of a raw, uncut stone.
Because it is unpolished, it has a rounded shape, and there are diagonal lines running across the surface that sparkle whenever it moves.
This piece also lacks a traditional "jewelry" feel, offering a casual and unique vibe.
Incorporating it into your outfit as a stylish accent piece instantly elevates your look, giving it a sophisticated, advanced feel...♡
This top features a 0.76ct rough diamond.
Today we introduced one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces featuring natural diamonds and rough diamonds.
For those who want to wear something a bit unusual, or for those who want to enjoy the natural beauty of stones, we would love for you to see them in person. They also look wonderful layered, as shown in the photos!
We hope you take this opportunity to visit us at our Osaka store.♩
