Hello! This time, I would like to talk about June's birthstone, Moonstone / Pearl .

MARIHA

Since ancient times, moonstone has been believed to be a stone with the power of the moon.

In ancient times, when there was no electricity, it is said that the brightness of moonstones changed according to the phases of the moon.

It is said that it resembles the glow of moonlight because it shows various expressions such as blue, white, and rainbow colors, and it is said that it was named "Moonstone" in the 1600s (around the Edo period).

It seems that it was discovered around the 1st century BC, and it seems that the Greek word "selenites" is the etymology.

"Moonstone" I think it's a very nice name that makes you feel like you're dreaming.

The stone words of "Moonstone" are "longevity and wealth".

In addition, moonstone, which has gem words such as "a symbol of love" and "romance and marriage", is also known as a "lover's stone" and "a stone that conveys love", and is said to meet a destined person. ….

In fact, moonstone comes in many different colors.
White, blue, rainbow, orange, peach, gray, etc…
This is the color you see most in the market.
I think that peach with a cute color is very rare.
Gray, which is reminiscent of adult dignity, is also a rare and recommended color.
A warm orange might be good for autumn.

You can enjoy various colors and have a dream!

The key to Moonstone's quality lies in the aurora-like wave pattern in the center of the cabochon cut and the stone's high degree of transparency.

In Japan, it is called "moon feldspar", and the most beautiful feldspar is called moonstone.

Feldspar's friends include "sunstone", "labradorite", and "amazonite", but they are so diverse that one wonders, "Are they all the same?!"

Moonstone is not suitable for ultrasonic cleaning because it is made up of thin, flat crystals that overlap each other.

Thankfully, it's responsible for the moonstone's most alluring brilliance.

The two types of feldspar layers inside the stone refract and interfere with the light at the boundary between the stones, creating a beautiful brilliance.

The brilliance seen in such a phenomenon is called the “Schiller effect”.

The name Schiller comes from the German word "Schiller" which means "sparkle".
Major countries where rough is found are Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, Tanzania and Myanmar.

It would be nice if you could find a wonderful glittering "Moonstone" just for you.

In ancient India, it was valued as a "sacred stone", and it is said that farmers wore it as a talisman to pray for a good harvest.
It was also considered the best gift for lovers in medieval Europe. This stone invites gentle passion and enriches the love of two people.
In this way, "Moonstone" has long been a symbol of hope, love and eternal youth.

Hirotaka

Another June birthstone is the pearl.

In Greek mythology, the birth of pearls is associated with Venus, the goddess of love.

It is said that when Aphrodite (Venus), the goddess of love, was born from the foam of the sea, the water droplets of the foam that was thrown off her body sank into the sea and became a pearl that shines beautifully like her.

One of the most famous paintings is Botticelli's "Birth of Venus".

The figure of Venus, who has just arrived at Cyprus on a shell, is reminiscent of the shining pearls on the shell.

To modern beauty goddesses "Hirotaka"

Hirotaka started in 2010 as a small trunk show in Soho, New York.
The minimal and edgy style has spread through word of mouth from magazine editors and stylists, and is now available in New York, Boston, Dallas, and London, England.

The source of Hirotaka's inspiration is the time when he was insatiably interested in the strange shapes he found at the crossroads where the east and west winds come and go, and the splendid yet strange beauty of the flora and fauna that shines in tropical forests.

A woman who wears such jewelry also has good taste and enigmatic charm.
A sophisticated adult woman who has both strong-willed straight lines and feminine curves.
As if to symbolize the way of life of the present age, jewelry that spins beautiful lines celebrates the modern goddesses of beauty.

Come to think of it, another name for the moon crowned on moonstone is Artemis, and its English name is Diana.
In Greek mythology, she is the twin sister of Apollo and is also the goddess of beauty. It is a name derived from a beautiful woman as seen in the late British Princess Diana.

However, unlike Venus (Aphrodite), who governs love, or rather sexuality, this is called the goddess of chastity.

Artemis, who embodies the feminine beauty of a pure maiden, and Aphrodite, who expresses the feminine beauty of a mature adult.
Both are two different aspects of beauty that women have.

Please choose your favorite jewelry.

2020 Spring & Summer Collection “twilight moon”

AHKAH is characterized by delicate and delicate designs that match the skin of Japanese women.
Speaking of the moon and pearls, this year's Spring/Summer 2020 "twilight moon" collection.
“The theme is “twilight moon” inspired by the time and space of twilight in the fantastic gradation of the sky in the morning and evening. With the motif of the moon illuminating the pale indigo sky that gradually fades in red, pearls and mother-of-pearl with a lustrous luster invite you to a romantic and sentimental world. 』
In particular, the Crescent Pearl series, which is designed like a crescent moon hugging a pearl, is like the moon and Venus (English name: Venus) side by side. It is jewelry that can be said to be a collaboration between two goddesses of beauty.

And speaking of colored stones, Pomellato

Among the colored stone jewelry, we would like to introduce Adularia, which has the same beautiful white brilliance as the moonstones and pearls introduced earlier.
"Aren't Moonstone and Adularia the same stone?"

The moonstone introduced earlier is composed of two types of feldspar, orthoclase and albite. , interfering with each other to create a white to blue moonlight-like light effect.

Adularia is called ice feldspar, and it was given this name because it was produced in the Adura region of Switzerland. This stone is known as the "Queen of Ice" because of its moist and dubious pale glow.

It might be nice to wear it and enjoy the coolness at this time when the temperature starts to get hot.

Pomellato
<Pomellato>

Pomellato is known as an original jewelry brand that uses delicate gold chains and colored stones.
The founder, Pino Rabolini, was born in Milan, Italy, into a family that has been a goldsmith for a long time.
The brand was launched in 1967. Backed by the technical strength backed by tradition, we proposed innovative jewelry that had never existed before and attracted attention.

The concept is "pret-a-porter". In the fashion world at the time, prêt-à-porter was gaining popularity in place of haute couture as ready-made clothes with high quality and design.
Pomellato was one of the first to incorporate this concept into jewelry, proposing high-quality, highly fashionable, and easy-to-wear collections.
The innovative jewelery caught the attention of the fashionable and discerning Europeans, and was quickly greeted with enthusiasm.
