This ring was inspired by the costumes of Hakushu Kitahara. The ornament on his chest is recreated by using gold for the base metal of the motif.
The tanzanite, which is chosen with the image color in mind, has a strong pleochroic color that changes color depending on the angle you look at it from. In addition, black diamonds that reproduce the color of the costume are added to create a sharp impression.

Collaborative Jewelry
The collaboration jewelry uses colorful gemstones, including those directly purchased by gemologists from all over the world, mainly Hong Kong and Sri Lanka. We carefully selected gemstones with beautiful and precise cuts to bring out the best in the gemstones themselves. Tanzanite is not only beautiful in shape, but also has a strong pleochroism. Please also note the difference in color and shine between London blue topaz and indigo tourmaline, even though they are both blue gemstones. To ensure long-lasting use, the silver material is SILVER925 with rhodium plating, which is resistant to oxidation and discoloration. The platinum material is Pt950, which has a purity of over 95%. Please enjoy the authentic jewelry that can only be delivered by KARATZ, a jewelry specialty store.
