Amethyst · Star Crimson

Natural stone bracelet “Seiko”

This special bracelet is a deep purple reminiscent of the abyss, and seems to be wrapped in the sparkle of stars scattered across the night sky. Each carefully selected natural amethyst stone displays a natural “star pattern” that has been formed over a thousand years, and emits a subtle sparkle depending on the angle of the light. The stones are carefully strung together with purple thread handpicked by artisans, and the warmth of the handwork that can be felt with every touch creates a depth that cannot be obtained through machine production.

◇ A design that captures the rhythm of the universe
The deep purple grains contrasting with the green young leaves on a high-quality base like white porcelain are like a snapshot of the mystical time before dawn. The metal fittings are a modern interpretation of the traditional “braided cord” technique, and pursue a universal beauty that blends in with both Japanese and Western clothing. The silver leaf work scattered in the background is reminiscent of night dew lit by moonlight.

◇ Characteristics of stones that contain the power of the stars
Since ancient times, amethyst has been said to be a stone that connects heaven and earth. It is said to activate the third eye chakra (between the eyebrows) and sharpen intuition. The stones used in this bracelet, which are particularly highly colored, have a deep relaxation effect, and it is said that wearing them while sleeping will bring you revelations in your dreams. The included paulownia box has a constellation map painted in lacquer, and is designed to resonate with the energy of the stones and the circulation of the celestial bodies.

◇ To wear eternal brilliance
For a special occasion – to tie on the sleeve of a long-sleeved kimono for coming-of-age ceremonies, or as a talisman to support decision-making in business situations. On the accompanying washi paper, a passage from the ancient Chinese phrase “Star Frost Gauntlet,” from which the name “Xingjiang” is derived, is written in gold paint, deepening the feelings that go into the gift.

“The sparkle of the stars for a thousand years will change your moment forever.”
The whimsical patterns of natural stones weave a story that is unique in the world.
