Lapidario was launched by Sergio Otsuka who has backpacked dozens of countries after studying in New Zealand when he was twenty years old. Sergio's experience of cross travel of Europe and mountainous area in China to seek for crystals has led him form Lapidario. Through Sergio's personal connection with factories and craftsmen not only in Japan but also outside of Japan that he made from working for a jewelry trading company for nine years made it possible for Lapidario to source natural stones directly from local dealers and mine owners. Lapidario maximizes the natural beauty and uniqueness of natural stones through their elegant design.
