The star sapphire represents Dubai itself - a regional and international centre of influence whose waves of progress affect all around it. In the Real Dubai Collection then, the “Wave Pattern” represents the comfort, solace and knowledge-giving properties of water.
“Shibuki” means “ocean spray” in Japanese. This design calls to mind not only the beauty of the sea, but also its vital power and robust energy. The spray of the ocean wave is a commonly depicted image in Japanese art, symbolizing fertility and purity.
Like Japan, Dubai shares strong emotional and practical ties to the sea. Both countries have proud maritime traditions with the ocean being the fundamental background to Dubai's history as a trading port. Accordingly, in the Real Dubai collection, “Shibuki” represents the vigor, force and creativity of nature.
Real Dubai Collection is set apart by its jewel-like quality which is the main characteristic of Gyokuji Gemware. The brand derives its name from gyoku, which means 'jewel' in Japanese and jiki, which means 'porcelain', to refer to jewel-like ceramic ware made of corundum a highly crystalline form of aluminum oxide, which is the exact same mineral found in ruby and sapphire.
Fine ceramics are known for their delicate and unique manufacturing process. Gyokuji goes one step further to achieve qualities which are identical to those of natural gemstones.
“Our goal is to capture the positive spirit of the city and create with it a unique expression of beauty, the result of which is the Real Dubai collection. We take pride in sharing these unique objects of art with the city and the rest of the world,” concludes Mr. Takafumi.
View the exclusive Gyokuji Gemware Real Dubai Collection on December 11-15 at Stand 604, Hall 6, Jewellery Collections Dubai, Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
