A necklace crafted from the BAND series featuring a unique Boulder Opal. The minimalist structure highlights the charm of the raw opal stone, with its complex patterns and colors intersecting like geological strata. Utilizing the natural shape of the carved stone and threading a single gold band through it, the design evokes both a sense of “carving away” and “construction” at the same time.
This necklace features a piece with the deep blues and greens characteristic of boulder opal. The stone reveals different expressions depending on the viewing angle and light, quietly stirring the heart like the beauty of nature that suddenly appears in everyday life. The roughness of the cross-section and inclusions unique to natural stones are part of their charm, a character not found in artificial objects. The boldly cut form stands out when worn against the skin, adding depth to simple outfits.
The delicate adzuki chain adds lightness and femininity without detracting from the impression of the stone top. The gold luster and blue opal resonate together, allowing for styling that is both calm and playful. It can be worn casually tucked into a shirt collar or over a turtleneck for contrast, making it versatile for any season or occasion.
Each piece features a one-of-a-kind stone, ensuring no two are exactly alike. Experience both the joy of selecting your unique piece and the pleasure of wearing it.
By deliberately avoiding excessive shaping or surface treatment, this necklace creates the sensation of wearing the raw material itself. Though structurally simple, the individuality and quiet strength embedded within make it a core piece for any style.

Band series
Unlike conventional stone clasps, this unique stone clasp is set with gold lines and unevenness by digging a groove in the stone. The stone is not covered by claws, so the entire view of the stone can be seen, and the non-decorative structure is a feature of the design. The series is the result of handiwork that “only a person can do” to the nearest 0.1 millimeter, using advanced processing techniques by a precious stone engraver and a craftsman dedicated to metalworking in Kofu.

Details
This piece reveals the deep blues and greens characteristic of boulder opal, changing expression with the angle and the light. The roughness of the natural cross-section and any inclusions are not flaws but part of the individuality that cannot be replicated in a manufactured material.
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.
