I'm back in Bangkok, Thailand.

My stay, which began with the exhibition at Shinjuku Keio Plaza and took me around various parts of Japan, has now concluded.

I recently returned to the office in Bangkok.

Thank you very much to everyone I met at the exhibition, everyone who spoke to me during my tour, and everyone who came to my solo exhibition in Kobe.

It's truly special to have the opportunity to meet people in person and let them see the jewels.

Seeing people enjoy looking at the stones at their leisure, hearing comments like "The real thing is even better than I imagined!", and having so many pieces find new homes was a great encouragement.

Furthermore, many people kindly brought pieces they had acquired in the past, or came wearing jewelry after it had been customized.

It was a very moving experience to be reunited with pieces I thought I would never see again once they left my hands.

Moreover, I received a wonderful compliment from an experienced jeweler I had the pleasure of meeting, who said,

"The level of finishing is completely different from other stone dealers."

This made me feel both humbled and greatly encouraged for future creations.

With less than a month left in the year, I will continue with sourcing and production with renewed vigor.

I hope you will continue to enjoy GemTreeJapan until the end of 2025.
