TOKYO – Blinking zirconium tiaras, engagement ring boxes equipped with spy-cams and diamond-dusted hourglasses were some of the most eye-catching items showcased among more than a thousand jewellery booths at Japan’s biggest jewellery exposition on Tuesday.
Most booths displayed conventional items such as rings and necklaces, but some took a step further to help make special occasions shine brighter.
Japan’s industrial equipment development company Tohkoo, for example, showcased a battery-operated tiara embellished with 610 LED-lit zirconium made to blink in 14 different ways.
The tiara, which costs 1.3 million yen ($F23,700), was designed to draw more attention to the bride on her wedding day.
