Cherry Blossom Red Spinel and Diamond Ring

Cherry Blossom Red Spinel 5.40 ct. and .15 ctw. Diamond Ring

Woven into deep traditions like the enduring nature spirituality and shinrin-yoku “forest bathing” contemplative hiking, Japan’s love for visual natural beauty bursts forth every year in the most undeniable of ways: the blooming of the sakura blossoms on the Japanese cherry blossom tree.

About the same size as California, Japan is a nation where nature connection is vital and integrated throughout its archipelago of four main volcanic islands: Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu and Hokkaido.

From lovely deciduous forests to snow-capped Mount Fuji, taking in nature’s beauty through the changing of the seasons is a celebrated way of life in Japan. The hanami of the spring draws untold throngs of adoring viewers as the over 200 varieties of ornamental cherry trees bloom in pink and white, painting the already fascinating parklands into a dreamscape of flowers!

Symbolic of rebirth with their fleeting, delicate beauty and meaning “to smile” or “laugh”, the blossoming of the sakura flower is an immersion in the pure joy of Japan.
