From the first glance, Suiren feels serene—like standing at the edge of a quiet Japanese garden, watching light move across still water. Its sculptural platinum frame, crafted in Japan from .900 platinum, curves in three subtle tiers around the stone, echoing the soft concentric ripples that form when a single drop touches a calm pond. The effect is both architectural and organic, a study in balance that reflects the aesthetic principles of 1980s Japanese jewelry design.

At the center rests a 14.61-carat Australian boulder opal—an expressive stone divided between earthy ironstone and luminous color. The ironstone, warm and textured, resembles the natural sediment that settles gently across a zen pond’s floor, grounding the piece with an unmistakably organic character. Alongside it, bands of precious opal ignite in shifting tones of green, blue, and violet, like sunlight passing through water and catching on submerged stones.

In certain angles, a bright stroke of green cuts boldly through the darker matrix—a rare effect that glows like a ribbon of algae illuminated beneath the surface. And in the lower right corner, a soft blush of pink appears briefly, reminiscent of a pale reflection at dusk skimming across the water’s edge.

Measured from the top of the bail, the pendant spans 1.4 inches long and 0.8 inches wide—a substantial presence, yet still intimate enough to feel personal. Though vintage, the craftsmanship remains strikingly modern: smooth, weighted, and composed, with every curve intentionally placed.

Suiren is the kind of piece that invites contemplation. A fragment of landscape, captured in stone and platinum. A quiet moment, distilled. A reflection of Japanese artistry at its most meditative.
