KARATZ Inc. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Keiichiro Koyama), which operates "KARATZ Gem Magazine" (https://karatz.jp/), Japan's largest gemstone specialized information media, and is also the author of the book "Gemstone Encyclopedia," will pre-sell "Authentic Gemstone Encyclopedia 3D Stickers," which use real gemstone photos and three-dimensionally reproduce even the cut lines, at the "KARATZ Pop-up Store" to be held on the 1st floor of Shinjuku Marui Annex in late May.
"Authentic Gemstone Encyclopedia 3D Stickers"
These "Authentic Gemstone Encyclopedia 3D Stickers" were created with the desire to offer a new item that allows people to enjoy gemstones more casually.
[Background of Production] Making gemstones more accessible. The "authentic" sparkle conveyed precisely through photographs.
Many gemstone-related goods released until now have been illustration-based.
However, KARATZ has been committed to developing goods using "gemstone photographs" with a strong desire to make people "feel gemstones more closely and realistically," and has produced many such items.
And now, the "3D Photo Stickers" have been completed, using carefully selected beautiful photographs from KARATZ's vast photo archive, which has been accumulated through years of photography.
[Point ①] "Texture Reproduction" with a focus on authenticity
By applying unevenness along the cut lines of the photographs, the reflection of light and sense of presence that cannot be expressed with illustrations are reproduced. Each time you touch them with your fingertips, you can feel the edges like real gemstones.
Because real gemstone photos are used, you can feel the colors and textures as if they were real, enjoying a different charm from illustrations.
[Point ②] Uses photos of gemstones purchased from all over the world
KARATZ directly purchases and sells gemstones and rough stones in countries famous as gemstone producing areas and collection centers, such as Sri Lanka, Thailand, Hong Kong, Tucson (USA), and India.
We use carefully selected photographs from our vast archive, which our exclusive photographers have meticulously and lovingly taken of these gemstones one by one.
From these photos, which bring out the maximum charm of the gemstones, you can feel the beautiful sparkle and texture of the gemstones more realistically.
[Point ③] Includes trivia unique to the author of the book "Gemstone Encyclopedia"
Trivia tailored to each gemstone is included from the perspective unique to the author of the book "Gemstone Encyclopedia," which has sold over 10,000 copies. Even those who don't have time to open a thick encyclopedia can easily deepen their knowledge of gemstones in their daily lives.
Since the trivia part is also processed as a sticker, you can stick it together in a sticker book to create your own unique encyclopedia.
Even the cover of "Gemstone Encyclopedia" becomes a sticker!
[Point ④] High quality that satisfies adults
This is an unprecedented item that goes beyond the framework of "educational and stationery" for gemstone lovers and adults who enjoy sticker collecting.
We are proud to have created the ultimate gemstone collection that reproduces a sense of authenticity at an affordable price of 660 yen (tax included).
The first installment of the series is from the "Five Great Gemstones"
As the opening of this series, we have lined up the "Five Great Gemstones" (Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Alexandrite), which boast overwhelming popularity and recognition.
We plan to continue developing series with various beautiful gemstones in the future. Please look forward to it.
