Smooth surface, strong shine and unique baroque pearl necklace. It is a blue pearl of Akoya from Japan.
A glittering 18 carat mirror ball shines gorgeously.

British princesses used round pearls made in Japan, but this one is baroque. Round pearls originated in Mikimoto, but Baroque pearls have been popular for a long time.

I was watching Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral on TV, and it was held in a very solemn atmosphere. The orderly soldiers were impressive. If there are many people wearing military uniforms during an event in Japan, it will create a strange atmosphere. People are likely to ask, “Did Japan militarize?” Some Japanese people, at least I, were surprised to see the formal military uniforms at British funerals. It’s hard to imagine in Japan. I think it’s a culture.

I was also surprised that Queen Elizabeth had been on the throne for 70 years. I’m in my 40s, but when I heard about the Queen, it was “Elizabeth”. Even elementary school students in a small island country in the east, far away from England, are associated with “Elizabeth”.

In Japan, the pros and cons of the state funeral of former Prime Minister Abe, who passed away the other day, are being talked about on TV every day.

I don’t know much about other countries, but in Japan, when a prime minister becomes prime minister, every day television, radio, and newspapers single-mindedly denounce the prime minister and the ruling party. It’s not that bad on the internet. However, the power of television is still strong, so the opinions of the mass media form public opinion.

Regardless of whether Abe is right or wrong, he served as prime minister for a long time, so I would like the people to work together to proceed with the state funeral. It is said that it will cost 1.6 billion yen and that it is not in line with the law, but it will cost 300 million yen just to hold the Diet for one day. Personally, I’d rather move on to another subject.

People in favor of state funerals do not raise their voices, but opponents do. So I don’t talk about state funerals in my daily life. Even among Japanese people, there are many disagreements. Japanese people don’t like people who have different opinions from others. “We are all the same, aren’t we?” There are overwhelmingly many negative opinions about people who challenge something. Recently, I often wonder if this is what has caused the stagnation of the Japanese economy over the past 30 years.

It’s not a good idea to mention such things in the product description.

Baroque pearls are different from common round pearls, but I think that this is a mass of individuality. Round, white, blue, baroque, we would like to recognize and accept the diversity of other companies and work hard together. Of course, the major premise is to be positive and believe in the path that each individual thinks is right and good.
