Brillar x OHARA PEARL Collaboration: Exclusive Pop-up at Hanshin Umeda
7 days only: March 4 (Wed) – March 10 (Tue), 2026
Guided by the concept of “Moissanite High Jewelry designed to be passed down through generations,” Brillar is pleased to announce a 7-day exclusive pop-up store at Hanshin Umeda Main Store (2nd Floor, Event Terrace 2) from March 4 (Wed) to March 10 (Tue), 2026.
Following the success of our previous event, this showcase will once again be held in collaboration with our sister brand, OHARA PEARL.
We invite you to experience a unique space where the refined brilliance of man-made Moissanite resonates with the organic luster of pearls shaped by nature.
■Our Vision for the Pop-Up Store
Since its founding in 2017, Brillar has established itself as a pioneer of Moissanite in Japan, delivering brilliance to countless customers through high jewelry crafted in platinum and 18K gold.
Over the years, our philosophy has remained unchanged: jewelry should not be reserved only for special occasions, but should blend seamlessly into daily life—becoming a companion through time.
Amid the recent global rise in precious metal prices, we revisited this belief, which led to the birth of our new “K10 Collection”*(1).
At this event, we are proud to debut this new line. While upholding the design expertise and quality standards we have cultivated over the years, the K10 Collection offers a more accessible and effortless way to enjoy fine jewelry.
This collection embodies our nine-year journey as a pioneer and our heartfelt wish for the enriched future of those who wear our pieces.
We invite you to experience a space where the man-made brilliance of Moissanite and the nature-nurtured glow of pearls resonate together—two distinct origins, one harmonious expression.

Our Journey and Craftsmanship
【Brillar: A Pioneer That Shaped the History of Moissanite in Japan】

Drawing on years of close dialogue with our customers, we provide a jewelry experience defined by exceptional freedom and individuality.

What Is Moissanite?
Moissanite is a captivating lab-grown gemstone distinguished by its exceptional fire and refractive index — often described as offering up to 2.5 times the brilliance of a diamond*(2).
Beyond its striking radiance, Moissanite also exhibits remarkable toughness and a low affinity for oils, making it highly resistant to clouding. These superior properties make it well suited for everyday wear and for pieces intended to be treasured for a lifetime. Today, it enjoys growing recognition and popularity, particularly in Europe and North America.
In addition, Moissanite jewelry is regarded as an ethical choice, free from certain social and environmental concerns sometimes associated with natural gemstone mining — including environmental degradation from over-extraction, conflict, and child labor. For this reason, it is increasingly chosen for milestone jewelry such as engagement and wedding rings.
In fact, approximately 30% of Brillar’s jewelry is selected for bridal occasions.
About OHARA PEARL
Founded in October 2020 under the concept, “So that every woman can love herself just as she is,” OHARA PEARL was created with a clear and heartfelt vision.
Through direct sourcing at pearl auctions, we offer an exceptional balance of uncompromising quality and fair pricing — from the finest-grade Akoya pearls to rare, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Each jewel reflects the meticulous craftsmanship of skilled artisans. In recent years, the brand has gained devoted admirers not only across Japan but also among clients overseas, with its presence steadily expanding on a global scale.
Now in its sixth year, OHARA PEARL operates from two locations — our flagship boutique in Ginza, Tokyo, and our showroom in Shinsaibashi, Osaka.
From formal occasions to refined everyday wear, we continue to present the timeless radiance of pearls designed to be cherished across generations.
About Brillar
Recognizing the potential of Moissanite — a lab-grown gemstone that was virtually unknown in Japan at the time — Brillar was founded in 2017 as the nation’s first specialized Moissanite jeweler *(3).
Guided by the concept of “Moissanite High Jewelry designed to be passed down through generations,” the brand marks its 10th anniversary this year.
What began as an online venture has grown into a trusted brand built on meticulous quality control and a steadfast commitment to integrity. Today, Brillar operates two permanent flagship boutiques in Ginza, Tokyo, and Shinsaibashi, Osaka.
By integrating both online and physical retail experiences, we continue to share the value of our brand with customers throughout Japan.
To ensure we offer jewelry of enduring quality—pieces designed to be cherished for generations—Brillar upholds its own rigorous and uncompromising quality standards.
In the absence of globally unified grading standards for Moissanite, we select only premium stones that meet diamond benchmarks for Colorless and VVS (Very Very Slightly Included) clarity, further refined through our own exacting aesthetic standards. For our settings, we use 18K gold and platinum, as well as high-strength forged platinum (Tanzo), renowned for its resistance to deformation and scratches. Through both superior materials and refined craftsmanship, we pursue true heirloom quality.
In recent years, guided by our belief in making extraordinary brilliance more accessible, we have introduced 10K yellow gold (10K YG). With its elegant hue and impressive durability, 10K gold offers a thoughtful choice amid rising precious metal prices and is embraced across both our ready-to-wear and bespoke collections.
As a pioneer of Moissanite in Japan, we remain committed to continuously elevating our standards—from ongoing research into stones and materials to designs that highlight the distinctive beauty of Moissanite, as well as the dedicated after-sales service that defines a true specialist brand.
