Product Description

This elegant bracelet is made from natural Aoi-ishi (Blue Stone), a rare diorite quarried in Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Scientifically known as diorite, this stone formed approximately 60 million years ago, when magma deep within the Earth cooled slowly over millions of years. Through the vast span of geologic time and tectonic uplift, this beautiful natural stone eventually emerged at the surface and has since become a prized material known for its beauty and strength.

Okayama’s Aoi-ishi is characterized by its subtle bluish-gray color and fine, dense grain. When polished, it reveals a gentle sheen that reflects light beautifully, giving it a quiet yet refined elegance. For centuries, this stone has been used in gravestones, monuments, temples, and important architectural structures due to its durability and dignified appearance. In particular, the blue stone from areas such as Kitagi Island in Okayama is celebrated as one of the finest decorative stones in the Seto Inland Sea region.

Each bead in this bracelet has been hand-polished by skilled artisans to highlight the natural texture and shine of the stone. Its design is simple yet refined, making it suitable for daily wear while retaining the quiet strength of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Blue stone is also believed to promote calmness and mental clarity, making this bracelet a meaningful personal talisman.

Because it is a natural stone, each piece varies slightly in color and pattern, making every bracelet one of a kind. Whether as a personal keepsake or a thoughtful gift, this bracelet embodies the perfect harmony of ancient geology, Japanese stonecraft tradition, and modern handmade artistry.
