Versatile Openwork That Changes Expression with Angle


This year, the "Camélia Collection" has been reborn with a more delicate and lighter expression through the addition of openwork. Maintaining the collection's style of embodying elegance within simplicity, rings featuring modern openwork camellias have been introduced. As the small rings bear intricate, almost painterly designs, a subtle shift in their position on the finger can reveal a multitude of expressions. The pictured ring is adorned with diamonds, but a simpler version without diamonds is also available (¥189,000).
