Quality

The beauty of diamonds is not simply “4Cs”. Generally speaking, a diamond is evaluated according to what is known as “The 4Cs of Diamond Quality”: carat, color, clarity and cut. For Tomoko Kodera, however, who is personally involved in all processes from selecting the diamonds up to the manufacturing stage, the 4Cs are merely a numerical guide. Even for diamonds of the same grade, there is a difference in their sparkle when looked at by the naked eye. When considering the beauty of diamonds,
Tomoko Kodera believes that it is important to distinguish diamonds by their individual brightness, outside of the 4Cs.
Kashikey Co., Ltd., owner of “15 DEGREES Ring” and “TOMOKO KODERA”, is one of the leading diamond dealers in Japan. Having connections in New York, Antwerp, India, Israel, etc., is a huge advantage as it enables Kashikey Co., Ltd. to select and gather diamonds from all over the world.

Jewelry born from Identifying the Individuality of the Diamond

Some diamonds have a cool and iridescent sparkle, others emit a bright and gentle shine, and so there are various ways in which a diamond has individuality. In addition to using the 4Cs Diamond Quality standards, Tomoko Kodera goes further by assessing diamonds according to their sophistication. Then, upon determining the individual qualities of each diamond, she reflects its characteristics
in the stone setting and the overall design. For jewelry fashioned in this way, not only diamonds of the highest grade, but also small diamonds, even those with a diameter of less than 1mm, when united can sparkle brilliantly as one. In this way, the jewelry of “15 DEGREES Ring” and “TOMOKO KODERA” fills the hearts of those wearing it with happiness and light.
