Diamonds Shine When Worn

Hiromi Oshida is a leading figure in women's fashion and a trusted stylist for many. Having worked with countless pieces of jewelry in her styling, she also feels a deep allure for "diamonds." Oshida, who describes diamonds as possessing the most "overwhelming aura" among gemstones, has chosen pieces from the "Forevermark Precious Collection" that captivated her.

"It's a design unlike any other," Oshida remarked, holding the "Almas" hand ornament from Mona Meta. "I've never seen a design like this before. This piece features diamonds with a variety of cuts, including pavé and marquise. The cutting itself is treated as part of the artwork. It must be a creation only possible by a designer who truly understands diamonds."

Diamonds shine even more brilliantly when they capture light. Therefore, cutting is an indispensable element for bringing out the beauty of a diamond. Oshida is particularly drawn to the cutting and shape of diamonds, finding herself captivated by designs that showcase their form and sparkle.

In addition to the aforementioned jewelry, another piece that captured her attention this time was Shaun Leane's "White Light," a beautiful brooch inspired by the first snowfall of winter. It is lavishly adorned with 13 internally flawless (IF), D-color, pear-shaped Forevermark diamonds.

"You can tell just by holding it that it's made with an understanding of the rarity of Forevermark diamonds. The concept of snow condensing the essence of the world's most precious things is also wonderful. I always believe that diamonds should be "worn." Something to feel when worn against the skin..."

That's why I think it's wonderful that this brooch was made with the wearer in mind. Truly, so many outfits come to mind. I'd love to wear it subtly pinned to a crisp, structured outfit. It would also look great with a silver-grey satin jacket."

Understanding the Background and Experiencing Superior Quality

"The pavé diamonds and grey enamel are also beautiful," Oshida continued. Shaun Leane's jewelry, with its dreamlike themes, truly sparks the imagination. As she held the brooch, imbued with the designer's vision, Oshida spoke about the importance of choosing diamonds of excellent quality.

"In my profession, I've encountered many diamonds, and they are typically purchased for special occasions. Nowadays, even items labeled "diamond" can be of poor quality, but one naturally wants to choose something of unquestionable, high quality."

"It's the same in the fashion world. If you start with compromised quality, you might never truly understand what makes a beautifully cut garment. "

"That's why I tell the next generation to consciously engage with high-quality items. Also, since there are specific creators behind pieces like this jewelry, purchasers should also take the time to understand the background of the diamonds and the jewelry. Having jewelry with a solid background in your collection must make you feel a certain way, mustn't it? (Laughs) Ultimately, it's jewelry that uplifts women's spirits. That's precisely why I want them to choose with discernment."
