Hello, I'm Omori, the designer.
The event has ended, and 440showroom is slowly returning to normal. I would like to gradually introduce you to some renovation examples. Please bear with me for today's blog post as well.
This is a renovation case requested by a customer who always comes to 440showroom whenever they have a jewelry problem. We have built a relationship of trust with them, almost like a specialist doctor.
The requests I receive are always challenging and stimulate my creativity.
Recently, a customer brought in a beautiful 10ct sapphire loose stone and asked for a gorgeous ring. The theme was "a certain degree of luxury." For the rest, they left it up to me, and they also entrusted me with leftover Pt necklace parts and loose diamonds from a previous renovation.

This is the moment our skills are put to the test. I drew inspiration from the customer's atmosphere, fashion, work, hobbies, etc., and devised two ring design proposals.
I aimed for a design that highlights the main sapphire, creates a sense of luxury by utilizing the remaining materials, and avoids being ordinary.
The final design the customer chose and had made was one where the sapphire is adorned with Pt necklace parts, with the ends of the parts boldly extending beyond, and a yellow diamond dangling from them.

I made sure the yellow diamond would sway smoothly when worn on the finger, creating a finish that evokes the beautiful breath of life, like a large flower shedding its petals.

YG was used for the prongs holding the sapphire, linking it with the yellow diamond.
When the customer took the finished ring, they momentarily gasped, and then let out a big sigh. Looking at their face anxiously, they said, "It's more than I imagined. No explanation is needed." It is precisely because the customer has many glamorous events and overseas work that such a brilliant and unique piece was born.

Completely custom renovations and orders, where we propose a design perfect for the customer, are both highly stimulating for creativity and very nerve-wracking, but even more so, they are exciting. It's a process that only works with mutual trust.
