Hydrangea Necklace with Fluorite

Hydrangea ※Thank you for featuring us in the special "Brighten Your Heart with Refreshing Blue" feature!★ Colors that blend and mingle. Rainy skies, clear skies, the color of water, the color of the sky, petals changing hue. June is called 'Minazuki,' meaning 'month of water,' as rice paddies are irrigated during this time, with the character '無' (mu) representing 'の' (no). Hydrangeas, the perfect flower for June, extend their stems to their full height, allowing us to feel the changing seasons through their ever-shifting colors. We've recreated the characteristic colors of hydrangeas using fluorite, with each stone displaying a unique shade. Both stones are marquis-cut, featuring a beautiful gradation within each piece, offering a transparency reminiscent of dripping dew. This season, the sight of raincoats, umbrellas, and people walking along the streets also evokes the image of hydrangeas. Pair your refreshing early summer outfits with delicate, colorful jewelry. Enjoy this exquisite piece that captures the essence of the season right at your fingertips. 14KGF 40cm Necklace Chain, Pin, Wire, and Cup: 14KGF Flower Size: Approx. 18mm ■ About Fluorite Stone's meaning: Stone of wisdom, virtue, tranquility, protection, healing, dispelling anxiety, being protected. Fluorite (Hotaru-ishi/Kei-seki,萤石, Fluorite, Fluolite) is a type of mineral (halide mineral). It boasts the nickname of the most colorful gemstone in the world. With its blue, green, yellow, pink, and purple hues, it's also known as the "Stone of Genius" or "Stone of Wisdom." Its history is ancient, having been used in sculptures since ancient Egypt. Its gentle radiance seems to glow on its own. Some varieties even fluoresce when exposed to UV light (fluorescent fluorite; while this fluorite doesn't fluoresce, you can see how its appearance changes with UV interference), earning it the charming Japanese name "Hotaru-ishi" (firefly stone). [Bonus Column: The Popularity of Fluorite in the Gemstone World in Recent Years] In eras when jewelry and gemstones were symbols exclusively for royalty and nobility, or portable wealth, gemstones with a Mohs hardness below 7 were limited to opals, pearls, and ivory. Stones like fluorite, with a Mohs hardness of 4, were not chosen for jewelry that required frequent resetting (re-mounting on metal) or recutting (re-polishing) over long periods. However, in the present day, when there's no need to pass down jewelry through generations, fluorite is being re-evaluated and prized as a colored stone with a wide spectrum of hues. It's true that limiting the color, such as to blue, makes it exceptionally difficult to obtain. The appeal lies in its seven or more colors, its bright, cocktail-like hues, and the beauty of its crystal structure. Each stone offers a unique ownership experience, making it rare to find a mineral enthusiast who doesn't collect fluorite specimens. Fluorite is also known for being challenging to work with for jewelry, often frustrating artisans. Furthermore, its reaction to UV light causes its color to change in photographs, making photography and sales extremely difficult (we use special editing to bring the colors as close as possible to their natural appearance). For this reason, simple, single-stone fluorite jewelry is hard to come by. If you find a fluorite in a color that catches your eye, you must acquire it, whether as a specimen or otherwise, as you may never see it again. This is the allure of contemporary natural stones.
