Not cliche! Recommended jewelry brands

A Japanese jewelry brand launched in 2010.
The designer is Hirotaka Inoue.

All products are made in Japan with a focus on high quality and feature designs that shine with a subtle individuality that is unlike any other.

Another attractive point is that they aim to create designs that are not influenced by trends, and although there are many cute designs that can only be found at Hirotaka, many of their products are not bound by age and can be used for a long time, and will not be consumed as a passing fad.

Rather than "special jewelry for parties," the concept is "real jewelry that can be worn every day," and many of the pieces are simple and never boring.

The brand has also become a hot topic after being worn by Emma Watson, and has quickly gained worldwide attention.

Hirotaka is also said to have popularized the now-familiar ear accessory, the ear cuff.

Ear cuffs appear to be an important item for the brand, as the model was photographed wearing as many as 15 ear cuffs on her ears.

One of the brand's signature items is the "arrow earrings."

As the name suggests, these earrings have a beautiful curve reminiscent of a bow and are a distinctive item that is worn by passing a long bar through the piercing hole.

The model with a sturdy single pearl is particularly popular, but there are also models with black diamonds and diamonds.

Beluga ear cuff

Quote store.hiro-taka.com

This ear cuff is from the "Beluga" series, which is one of the brand's key focus series.

Beluga is a fish called a sturgeon.
It is also famous for producing caviar (a different species from the beluga whale).

Sturgeon Quote rbth.com

The key feature of this Beluga series is the design, which looks like a single onyx or pearl, reminiscent of caviar, gently wrapped in gold.

The beluga is an ancient fish that has remained unchanged since ancient times and still lives today, but it is said to be on the verge of extinction because it is the source of caviar.

Designer Inoue thought of belugas and incorporated them into his designs.

In addition to this ear cuff, the series includes a variety of other items such as necklaces, rings, and earrings.

Signet Ring

Quote parigot.jp

This is one of TOM WOOD's most representative items.

A signet ring is a ring with initials or a coat of arms engraved on the front part, called the bezel, which in the past was used by stamping it like a seal.

Using such historic items as a motif, TOM WOOD offers a wide variety of variations, such as embedding natural stones in the bezel, finishing with just polished metal, or shaping it with mesh-like metal.

In addition to the brand's standard square shape, there are also thin oval and slim rectangular shapes to choose from to suit your style.

CREST

Quote Instagram @talkative_marotta

This series, called "CREST," is made by cutting beautiful natural stones into shapes that evoke patterns.

"Mon" (crests), which have been loved all over the world since ancient times, also exist in Japan, and this "CREST" has a somewhat Japanese atmosphere, as well as an exotic feel, like the tile patterns seen in Morocco.

Currently, they are only selling earrings that make the most of the cutting of this pattern, but with their unique and one-of-a-kind appearance, they have a presence that is likely to become a symbol of the brand.

CUBE

Sourcestore.talkative.jp

This is also a series that uses natural stones with very unique cuts.

When you look at a photo taken from the front, it looks as if a cube of stone has been used, but in fact it is a thin, semi-three-dimensional stone that has been cut to resemble a cube seen from an angle.



The optical illusion design, which gives a completely different impression when viewed from the front and the side, makes it truly "jewelry that creates conversation."

The set includes a ring with a gold edge and earrings that are so clear you can see through them, and they look great when worn together.
