[Reward yourself for all your hard work this year]
■GRANDMATIC
Created by Michiko Nakayama, designer of MUVEIL, this brand is themed around grandma (grandmother), and offers timeless jewelry that grows on you the more you use it. This season's recommendations include a necklace made with vintage parts (27,000 yen) and large earrings made with the brand's original glass (from 11,000 yen). Larger necklaces and earrings are popular because they look great even when paired with light clothing like T-shirts. We also recommend brooches made with deadstock parts.
■ete
Ete, known for its simple yet unique designs, is heavily promoting items made with freshwater pearls. At 20,000 to 50,000 yen, they're the perfect price for treating yourself, so why not splurge with your bonus? Their five-strand pearl necklace (46,000 yen) pairs well with both casual and elegant party looks, making it a useful addition.
■Jouete yubikazari
Jouete yubikazari offers a selection of unique rings, including fork rings with two prongs and two-prong rings. Using freshwater pearls as a base, it's fun to add a touch of bright color to your fingertips. Most of their pieces are in the 10,000 to 20,000 yen range, so it's a good idea to gradually buy some as a little treat.
【Gifts for your girlfriend or wife whose sense is crucial】
■AHKAH
If you're looking for trendy stackable pieces, AHKAH accessories are highly recommended. According to the staff, the best balance is achieved when the chain lengths of the three necklaces are 37cm, 40cm, and 60cm, respectively. Layering them with a simple single diamond necklace and matching them with a crescent moon motif (76,000 yen), drop motif (70,000 yen), or cross motif (140,000 yen) is also chic and cool. This square necklace made of lapis lazuli inlaid with gold is perfect for women who like unique pieces.
■Ayami
This brand is the perfect gift for a unique woman. They offer a wide selection of items with original motifs, including a starfish pendant (43,000 yen). There are also plenty of items with basic designs but with attention to detail, such as a cross-motif pendant (66,000 yen). Matching earrings will complete the look.
