Size & Fit
While the size is just right—not too large—the play of colors in red, yellow, and green is clearly visible, making it a striking accent near your ear. Since the base is a subdued blue-gray, the piece doesn’t look too flashy even with its variety of colors, allowing you to enjoy styling that lets the opal’s color play take center stage.
Simply adding this piece to a casual outfit—such as a T-shirt and jeans—brings color and sparkle to your ears, making it the focal point of your look. Since this is sold as a single earring, we recommend pairing it with a simple metal earring on the other side to tone down the overall look and let the opal’s vibrant play of colors take center stage.
Details
The blue-gray opal layer has a translucent quality, and in some areas, you can also see the subdued hues of the matrix. A play of colors—including red, yellow, and green—shines through, and the defining feature of #4294 is how multiple colors appear one after another depending on the viewing angle and lighting. With its contrast between the base color and the play of colors, this specimen allows you to fully enjoy the color variations among the boulder opals in this collection.
Boulder opals are natural stones, each one unique in its base color, play-of-color, pattern of host rock, and shape. Since it is difficult to find stones with identical characteristics, we select each piece based on its individual charm and craft them into single-ear earrings.
BAND Collection
Unlike conventional stone-setting techniques, this series uses januka’s original setting method, in which grooves are carved directly into the stone to secure it with lines and raised sections of gold. With no prongs or other elements covering the stone, its entire form remains visible, allowing the structure itself—rather than added decoration—to become the design.
Each piece is created through the highly specialized craftsmanship of a gemstone carver in Kofu and a dedicated metalworker. Working with precision down to 0.1 mm, the series is defined by a level of handcraft and expertise that only these individual artisans can achieve.
FAQ
Q. The design looks delicate. Is it fragile?
A.The BAND series is designed with minimal visible metal in order to showcase the natural beauty of each stone. Because of this delicate construction, strong impacts or contact with hard surfaces may cause the stone to chip or break. Please note that durability also varies depending on the hardness and characteristics of the natural stone you choose.
Rather than wearing these pieces continuously every day, we recommend treating them as special jewelry to be worn when going out and handling them with care. With normal wear while out and about, they can be enjoyed comfortably without concern.
Q. What should I do if my jewelry becomes damaged?
A.Please contact us through our official LINE account or the contact form on our website. Once we have assessed the condition of the piece, we will provide you with a repair estimate.
If the stone has broken, we may be able to source another stone with a similar character and remake the piece. However, as every natural stone used in the BAND series is one of a kind, we cannot recreate a piece with exactly the same color, shape, or appearance. We appreciate your understanding.
Q. Can I change the ring size or necklace chain length after purchase?
A.Yes. Please contact us through our official LINE account or the contact form on our website.
Ring resizing and necklace chain length adjustments are available after purchase. The cost will vary depending on the type and extent of the adjustment, and we will provide an estimate once we have confirmed the details of your request.
Q. Will I receive the exact stone shown in the product photos?
A.Yes. You will receive the exact piece shown in the photographs.
Every piece in januka’s BAND series is one of a kind, and each item shown in our online store is individually photographed. The photographs therefore show the actual piece you will receive.
We invite you to take your time exploring the unique shape, color, and individual character of each natural stone and choose the piece that speaks to you.
Q. How should I care for and store my jewelry after wearing it?
A.After wearing your jewelry, gently wipe away any perspiration or oils with a soft cloth or jewelry cloth before storing it.
Because the BAND series exposes a larger surface area of the stone, we recommend storing each piece separately in its own case or pouch to prevent it from coming into contact with other jewelry and becoming scratched.
Please also avoid direct contact with water, cosmetics, perfume, and other substances that may affect the stone.
Q. Can I purchase from outside Japan?
A.Yes. We offer international shipping via DHL.
International orders are subject to a shipping fee of ¥7,000 in addition to the product price. Any customs duties, import taxes, or other fees imposed by the destination country are the responsibility of the customer.
If you have any questions or concerns about placing an international order, please feel free to contact us by email. We will be happy to assist you.
Q. Can I see and try on the pieces in person before purchasing?
A.Yes. You can view and try on pieces at our flagship store in Omotesando, Tokyo.
The store may also have one-of-a-kind loose stones and finished pieces that are not listed in our online store. As our in-store selection changes over time, we recommend contacting us in advance if you are looking for a particular type of stone.
