In Japan, symbolism is worshiped in every aspect of life. The two main Japanese traditions - the respect of Power and the worship of Beauty represented as a Sakura flower provide the inspiration for this gem design. The blossoming Sakura flower is a symbol of beauty and transience of a human life.
The gem crown is represented in Asanoha – a traditional Japanese geometric pattern, composed of triangles, rhombuses, hexagons, and twelve-pointed stars; a visual metaphor for the multidimensional nature of life.
