As an emerald discoverer

As a gemologist

As a jewelry designer

As a raw emerald discoverer,

my passion lies in finding and sharing the rough emeralds I find.

When most people think of an emerald,

they think of a perfectly symmetrically shaped, green gem. 

Many people are unaware of the natural beauty a rough emerald holds.

The natural shape of an emerald is not perfectly symmetrical.

It comes in beautiful hexagonal prisms.

Rough emeralds very often have inclusions of pyrite

or calcite (or both) which are considered ‘dirty’ by some

but if you look closely, I think they look like planets. 

These inclusions can show you a glimpse of the universe. 

Not enough people truly see the beauty of rough emeralds

and so how could anyone say those imperfections make it appear ‘dirty’?

To me the beauty I see in a rough emerald is different from the shine I

would see in a cut emerald. 

The simple aesthetic of a rough emerald fits nicely

with both casual and formal outfits.

I make jewelry with the idea that rough emeralds

can be your very own, one-of-a-kind “everyday jewelry.”

RING

Looking at a ring can give you

a wave of energy for the day.

They can support you can make you

feel like you have a friend.

With this ring, you can feel the direct power

that comes from the emerald stones.

You can also wear emerald earrings ad necklaces

to compliment the green in the emerald ring.

SOLO EARRING

I wonder why people automatically buy two of the same earring.

I think that each individual emerald deserves its own design.

And even if the designs are different,

as they are both emeralds they will naturally look good together.

Just like how any emerald will naturally look good on everyone.

this is why I have developed Honoka’s single series. 

you can choose from uniquely different emerald earrings

and mix and match as you like.

EARRING

Sometimes it’s best to wear a small earring

that doesn’t get in the way

and sometimes you need a chunky statement earring.

There is a time and place for every earring.

On days when your skin is not at its best,

wearing earrings help you feel better.

When you look in the mirror,

you feel presentable and satisfied even without makeup.

Rough emerald earrings are not too much

for lounging around the house

but they are still fit for going out.

BROOCH

When you want your appearance to say,

“I’m here!” a broach is a good way

to make you stand out. 

Broaches are heavy but you don’t feel the weight

when they are worn on a jacket or coat

so you can wear a chunky broach

all day without noticing it.

But if you don’t mind the heaviness,

you can put it on a chain and wear it as a necklace.

NECKLACE

Necklaces are among some of the oldest jewelry.

In the past, necklaces were worn as amulets

as they were close to the hart.

It was believe that holding a gem close to the heart

protected you from bad energy cured sicknesses.

Today, necklaces are worn more for style and fashion.

An emerald necklace can be worn with a long chain

for a more fashionable and elegant look

or with a pearl necklace for a more casual look

that you can wear with a wider range of outfits.

BRACELAT

Bracelets, like rings, are jewelry

that you can see without a mirror.

Although they may be hard to style,

once you find one that fits perfectly,

it becomes a trademark piece and personal to you.

You can style a bracelet with a watch,

and wear it with a short or long sleeve.
