“Cameos are classical and lovely, but I don't know how to style them”—we often hear such comments.
This time, it's a reform story about boldly restyling such a cameo into something cool.
A cameo brooch inherited from the mother-in-law, and two rings: one with a light blue stone and one with an opaque white stone.

We also used the leftover diamonds from this series' reform to create a new brooch. Not wasting as many leftover stones as possible—I believe that's one of the joys of reform.
The design theme was to unify it with blue.
Diamonds were placed diagonally on the upper side of the cameo's face, and light blue and opaque white stones on the lower part. To balance this, a platinum frame was added around the cameo to create overall harmony.
The asymmetrical design transforms a cameo, which tends to be classical, into a cool and modern impression. Even with the same cameo, the expression changes so much.
The brooch, unified in blue, naturally blends in as an accent to simple outfits and in formal settings. It was a joy to help the sleeping cameo become a part of daily wear in this way.
Next time is the final installment of this series. We'll reform a garnet ring and necklace, and look back at the entire series. Stay tuned.
