The 24 facets cut into the rose-cut surface reflect light, creating a beautiful, sparkling brilliance. Lapis lazuli is the birthstone for December. The "VALOA" series uses the classically shaped rose cut. The carefully crafted prongs that securely hold the stone are meticulously tapered towards their tips. The presence of the prongs, combined with the classical stone setting, creates a sophisticated aura for the modern woman. The name "VALOA" was inspired by the 24 facets forming a dome shape, reminiscent of the 24 triangular shapes that characterize the rose cut, symbolizing "vingt-quatre" (twenty-four in French). This was combined with "nuovo" (new in Italian) and the phonetic impression of an alphabet combination derived from the design. The sophisticated and gentle feminine image is enhanced by the unique and beautiful colored stones, adding a touch of sweetness or a calm bitterness, allowing you to enjoy various expressions. Feel free to layer and coordinate with rings, earrings, and necklaces from the same series. These earrings feature a rose-cut colored stone as the star, set with elegantly refined claws. The cut, with its numerous triangular facets arranged on a dome-shaped surface, is named the rose cut for its resemblance to a rosebud, and is also known as an antique cut. The brilliance of K10 yellow gold, combined with the beautiful colored stone, elevates any outfit. Each piece is meticulously finished by skilled artisans, with careful attention paid to every detail, and polished to a final sheen. These earrings, having passed rigorous quality checks by designers and gem buyers, offer a vibrant sparkle that lasts.

Lapis lazuli is the birthstone for December. As its Japanese name suggests, it is characterized by its beautiful azure blue color. Despite its relatively low Mohs hardness due to its composition, lapis lazuli has good toughness without cleavage, making it a gemstone suitable for jewelry that can be passed down through generations. Its history is quite ancient, having been treasured as a precious gemstone since the dawn of ancient civilizations in various regions. Lapis lazuli is formed from a collection of beautiful minerals, where golden pyrite flecks and white calcite inclusions within the deep blue color create sparkle and accents. In Japan, lapis lazuli has long been known as one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. The Shosoin Imperial Repository houses a belt adorned with lapis lazuli, and Kūkai, the founder of Shingon Buddhism, considered lapis lazuli his protective stone. Globally, the tomb and mask of Tutankhamun, as well as the stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments, are said to have been made of lapis lazuli. Throughout its long history, lapis lazuli has been revered as a stone that attracts all kinds of good fortune and success, beloved as a "sacred stone" worldwide since ancient times. *As natural stones are used, they may contain internal inclusions (cracks or inclusions) or have slight variations in shape.
