Our Commitment to Collaboration Jewelry
The collaboration jewelry features a variety of colorful gemstones, including those directly sourced by gemologists from around the world, primarily Hong Kong and Sri Lanka. We carefully select gemstones that are exquisitely and precisely cut to maximize their inherent beauty. We use almandine garnet, prized for its reddish-brown hue, Swiss blue topaz, with its impressively clear color, and chrysoprase, meticulously selected from raw stones and polished. Even within the same color tone, each stone exhibits a unique brilliance and nuance, delicately expressing the individuality of each character. Furthermore, the diamonds are of VS-class equivalent high quality, with beautiful cuts that reveal H&C (Heart and Cupid). Their excellent brilliance, visible to the naked eye, further enhances the overall perfection of the jewelry. To ensure long-lasting enjoyment, the silver material uses SILVER925 with rhodium plating to prevent oxidation and discoloration. The platinum material uses Pt950, which has a purity of over 95%. Enjoy authentic jewelry that only KARATZ, a specialized gemstone store, can deliver.

About KARATZ
KARATZ Co., Ltd. (Karatz) was founded with the desire for gemologists to share accurate knowledge about gemstones and to provide a place where anyone can easily seek advice. Since its establishment, KARATZ has continuously disseminated extensive information about gemstones, primarily through its specialized gem information media, "KARATZ Gem Magazine" (https://karatz.jp/), as well as through social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
"KARATZ Gem Magazine" (https://karatz.jp/) continues to disseminate information on a wide range of topics, including not only basic knowledge about gemstones but also how to distinguish between genuine and fake items, and interviews with prominent figures in the gem industry.
It is characterized by having a large readership not only among the general public but also within the industry, with monthly visitors exceeding approximately 150,000, making it one of the largest specialized gem media in Japan.
Additionally, gemstones sourced globally by representative Koyama are sold on the company's online store, "KARATZ STORE."
Representative Koyama visits Thailand, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, and the United States several times a year, sometimes even going directly to mines to purchase gemstones.
Utilizing over 10,000 gemstone transactions, he carefully selects and procures high-quality, beautiful gemstones.
The creation of semi-custom and custom-made jewelry using a wide range of gemstones is also popular, and in collaboration with skilled domestic craftsmen, we continue to create high-quality jewelry that can be cherished for a long time.
