MELEE DIAMOND
About Melee Diamonds
Have you ever seen small diamonds placed cutely next to the main diamond on an engagement ring or wedding ring? Those small diamonds are called melee diamonds.
Melee diamonds are small diamonds under 0.1 carat. By using melee diamonds in a ring, you can accentuate the main diamond and make the ring more eye-catching, making it more glamorous. You can also change the impression of the ring by changing the number and placement of melee diamonds.
"Melee" is a French word that means crowded and crowded with people, and it means "small stone". The size of melee diamonds is not strictly determined, and in some countries it is 0.2 carats or less or 0.3 carats or less.
Custom-made melee diamonds
You can have endless fun with them by simply adding one stone, arranging them randomly, or combining them with Japanese carvings or milgrain.
You can choose from a tuck, a four-point clasp, or a star clasp. The atmosphere of the ring can change drastically just by changing the clasp. Enjoy making your ring.

About Japanese carving
In Japanese engraving, the workpiece is fixed to a table and carved forward while hitting the chisel with a hammer. The image is of the blade moving forward with a "knock knock" sound.
Because it is possible to carve deep, powerful lines, it is possible to create a powerful, dynamic, and three-dimensional expression. The surface reflects light and shines brightly, and the shadows created by the deep carvings create a rich expression. It is good at expressing straight lines.
The Japanese engravings by the craftsmen at KARAFURU are breathtakingly intricate and beautiful. They express even the most minute petals and leaves with a beautiful flowing movement. It's as if the lines drawn with the Japanese engraving technique are being breathed into life.
