Jewelry with a Soft Radiance to Make Your Spring Style Even More Brilliant
A popular item that appears in the spring collection every year, this jewelry is inspired by cherry blossoms, a flower loved by the Japanese people since ancient times and a symbol of Japanese spring. This year, the petals of the Somei Yoshino cherry tree, transitioning from white to pale pink, are expressed through cloisonné enamel with beautiful gradation.
A design that evokes the fresh breath of spring, featuring the flowers of the 'Blue Star' aster adorned with turquoise and mother-of-pearl. Earrings and pendants are accented with olive-green peridot, while the pin brooch features a red ruby at its center, further enhancing its brilliance.
