Steven's Magical CLAMP-Inspired Engagement Ring and Proposal: A Celestial Love for Reyna
Steven’s vision for his girlfriend Reyna’s engagement ring drew deep inspiration from her love of CLAMP, the iconic manga studio known for their ethereal, magical designs. Reyna’s admiration for works like Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Cardcaptor Sakura—along with her affinity for Sailor Moon and other fantastical shoujo manga—shaped the heart of this custom design.
In his initial inquiry to Takayas, Steven mentioned how much Reyna treasures the feminine yet powerful energy depicted in CLAMP’s work, particularly in their portrayal of strong women and whimsical elements like sunbeams, morning dew, feathers, and crystals. He also noted her fondness for the adorable Mokona Modoki characters.
Takayas approached this commission with immense enthusiasm, eager to translate the sweet, magical essence of Reyna’s favorite mangas into a ring that felt like a celestial work of art. Crafted from luminous platinum, the design was carefully shaped to resemble a delicate tiara—reminiscent of the elegant crown-like headpieces in Sailor Moon. At its heart, a striking alexandrite, with its mesmerizing pleochroic qualities, is cradled in a crescent moon, embodying the cosmic beauty Reyna adores. Wings flow gracefully from the shoulders of the ring, symbolizing the freedom and strength of the powerful heroines she admires.
The crescent moon is further adorned with a constellation of diamonds that continue down the sides, adding extra sparkle to the already enchanting design. Each detail was chosen to reflect the delicate, intricate beauty of CLAMP’s illustrations while maintaining the ring's timeless and elegant appeal.
As a special tribute to Reyna’s love for Mokona Modoki, Takayas secretly engraved the beloved character on the undergallery of the ring. This hidden, personalized touch brings a playful surprise that ties the ring back to Reyna’s deep connection with CLAMP’s world, making it a truly unique treasure.
Steven’s proposal, set for their upcoming Disney vacation, was a joyful success! We were delighted to hear Reyna said yes, and the ring became a cherished symbol of their love. In celebration of their upcoming wedding, the couple has now honored Takayas once more by commissioning a matching wedding band for Reyna, ensuring that both pieces tell the story of their journey together. We wish Steven and Reyna all the happiness in this special time and beyond!
