Alternative Options to Tiffany and Cartier! A Single Diamond Necklace from the Domestic Brand SHIHARA is Also Great♡

A Must-Consider Option for Necklace Selection♡

When it comes to brand-name diamond pendants, Cartier and Tiffany are popular and classic choices...

There’s a wonderful brand that rivals these two major brands♡

It’s **SHIHARA**.

(It’s pronounced as Shihara♡)

Do you know what SHIHARA is?

Shihara is a Japanese fine jewelry brand.

It was established in 2010 by jewelry designer Yuta Ishihara.

Words like:

"No waste"

"Minimal"

"Unembellished"

"Subtraction"

"Functional beauty"

are the image associated with Shihara.

In contrast to luxurious and glamorous jewelry, Shihara is known for creating designs that are stripped down to their simplest form, featuring no decorative elements.

One of Shihara's representative items is the 3D earrings, which are known for their three-dimensional designs such as triangular pyramids and cubes.

Many people may have seen them＊

The half-pearl collection, where only half of a pearl is visible, is also famous.

Bridal rings have recently become popular and are often seen♡

Unlike the typical platinum or silver wedding rings that come to mind, the designs are more akin to fashion rings, being thicker, matte, or gold-toned.

However, they do not have a cheap feeling.

While they have a presence, they also convey a subtle sense of mode and commitment to design.

There are plenty of stylish photos shared on Instagram, giving the impression that it's a brand chosen by fashionable couples♡

(It seems to be available not only in Japan but also in stylish shops overseas!)

Back to the one stone diamond necklace...

Shihara creates timelessly beautiful jewelry that feels contemporary and trendy.

The design for the one-stone diamond necklace is like this♡

The product name is "ONE-STONE NECKLACE," available in two types: platinum and K18 yellow gold.

The carat sizes and prices for the diamonds are as follows:

💎 Approximately 0.1ct for ¥132,000

💎 Approximately 0.2ct for ¥203,500

💎 Approximately 0.3ct for ¥374,000

💎 Approximately 0.4ct for ¥495,000

💎 Approximately 0.5ct for ¥715,000

(For the 18k option)

(By the way)

Cartier's Diamants Légers is ¥143,000 for 0.09ct and ¥264,000 for 0.19ct.

Tiffany's By the Yard is ¥141,900 for 0.08ct and ¥205,700 for 0.17ct.

So, Shihara is slightly cheaper than the others.

However, neither Tiffany nor Cartier has 0.4-0.5ct options for larger stones, making Shihara an excellent recommendation for those seeking a larger single-diamond necklace♡

The way to wear it is unique!

Shihara's one-stone diamond necklace has a different structure from others.

Regular necklaces typically connect at the clasp behind the neck, but...

Shihara's necklaces lack that clasp at the back of the neck...!

The diamond seating is combined with the clasp, allowing for a sliding mechanism to wear it.

In other words, it's a type of necklace you put on from the front.

You might find it easier to understand by watching this video♩

This structure for a necklace is rare, isn’t it?

While it's quite common to see brands decorate their clasps or adorn them with logos, Shihara’s design philosophy of removing such embellishments and using the diamond seating for function showcases the concept of subtraction.

(By the way, the 3D earrings also have no catches!)

Since there’s no clasp at the back, there’s no risk of it twisting or shifting due to weight, allowing the diamond to remain facing forward—a nice feature♡

SHIHARA's One-Stone Diamond Necklace is Great♡

While Cartier and Tiffany are the two giants in one-stone diamond necklaces...

I think Shihara’s necklace, with its minimalist design that highlights the presence of the diamond, is really wonderful♡

It's also cute when layered.

Please consider it for an engagement necklace too♡
