Longing Crimson

"Shokei" and "doukei" are the strong desire to obtain something, to reach an ideal state. Also, that feeling. Longing. I can't remember exactly where or where I saw it, but one of the emotions that comes to mind when I see the color crimson is... Is it because it's such a gorgeous color? Or is it because it exudes a sense of calm and elegance? Or is it because it exudes a sense of nobility? Or is it because it's a color that suits someone I admire so well? Various factors and reasons may combine to create the emotions that arise when I see the color crimson. What these emotions create is the driving force to move forward. I feel there's something appealing about trying to get closer to your dreams, even if just one step a day. This time, it's a simple ring made from a combination of 10K gold and andesine.

Its name comes from its origins near the Andes Mountains. Its power embodies two distinct energies: "transformation" and "harmony." It has the power to harmonize and resolve the contradictions between your true self and your current self. "10K Gold" In Japan, this material is known as 10K gold. It is an alloy of gold and other metals, with approximately 42% gold and 58% other metals such as silver and copper (18K gold is 75% gold and 25% other metals). While 18K gold is more popular in Japan, 10K gold has a whitish hue that blends well with Japanese skin tones and is suitable for casual wear. Due to the recent rise in the gold price, 10K gold has become a popular alternative to 18K gold for gold jewelry in Japan, establishing itself as a gold suitable for casual wear. It is said that due to the higher proportion of other metals compared to 18K gold, it is more prone to discoloration. However, with occasional polishing and other care, there is no need to be too concerned. While it is difficult to say for sure whether it is safe for people with metal allergies, please be aware that the higher proportion of other metals compared to 18K gold may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
