The rainy season has ended, and the full heat of summer has arrived with the dazzling sun. As the intense heat continues day after day, it's a season when one's spirits might feel a bit low—how have you all been managing?
Forgetting the brightness and heat outside for a moment, we hope you'll spend some leisurely time in our pleasantly cool atelier. With such feelings in mind, here in Sangenjaya, special summer events featuring vibrant colors have begun.
Sparkle from Tucson: The Designer's Salon
- Exhibition Period: July 1, 2026 (Wednesday) – September 30, 2026 (Wednesday) [By Reservation]
As you step inside, you'll find a cool and quiet space. Arranged there are beautiful natural stones that shift their dazzling appearance depending on the viewing angle and how the light enters—like vivid irises.
A once-in-a-lifetime sparkle discovered in the scorching desert
The stars of this collection have come from Tucson, a desert city in Tucson, Arizona, USA
I was very pleased with the results.
The world's largest gem market, where buyers and collectors from around the world gather.
Beneath the vast expanse of land stretching to the horizon and the strong desert sun, we carefully select loose gemstones
(rough stones) one by one, each carrying a special story.
Our company first set foot in Tucson 15 years ago, in 2011.
Since then, we've visited many times and seen tens of thousands of stones, but Fujimori Tokyo's aesthetic sensibility has never changed.
Our representative Takashi Fujimori's blog from his first trip to Tucson still remains.
Please forgive us for the steak photo 😂
We are drawn to these stones not simply because of their rarity.
"Will this stone become a design that makes the heart race?"
"Could it be crafted into a special piece of jewelry for just one person?"
Whether our imagination expands with such possibilities is our standard.
Sapphires with an absorbing depth, garnets that seem to capture sunlight, tourmalines where two colors
blend together mysteriously…….
That radiance, delivered from the distant silence of the desert, is so fresh it could dispel this intense heat, and simply looking at it fills one with
a power that clears the mind and soothes the spirit.
Woven together with 3 designers, "My own jewelry"
Another attraction of this event is the ability to have the beautiful loose stones you select transformed into original designs by our three Fujimori Tokyo designers (Shoda, Aya, and Juda).
From three distinctly different designs, you can choose the one that best suits your individuality and lifestyle.
"I want special jewelry that stands out from the crowd," "I'd like to choose from the combination of stone and design"
At Fujimori Tokyo, we can fulfill such wishes by consulting with our designers.
Although the event is held in the height of summer, we hope that the process itself of not just "selecting a stone" but "creating together with a designer," while feeling the heat of Tucson and enjoying a cool tea in our refreshing shop, will become a rich and precious time spent at our atelier.
(※You can choose any design at any time, but if you have a wish like "I want to consult directly with this designer to decide!" please feel free to write it in the notes section at the time of booking. We may ask for adjustments depending on the circumstances.)
The time waiting for completion is also precious
Since our craftsmen carefully create each selected design one by one, we require 2 to 3 months for completion (with an additional 2 to 3 weeks if a design drawing needs to be prepared).
We sincerely hope you will also enjoy 'the time during which your own unique jewelry gradually takes shape' as a luxurious moment that only custom-made pieces can offer.
May your summer become even more wonderful with this cool and radiant sparkle. We look forward to meeting you at our atelier. Sincerely, all our staff.
