Business Activities – Our Exclusive Dancing Stone Technology
What is Dancing Stone?
A revolutionary technique for jewelry
In November 2010, our President Hidetaka Dobashi invented a new jewelry setting in which the slightest movement of the wearer is converted into energy that makes the diamond swing incessantly, to the extent that
“it never stops glittering on your neckline.”
Being minute, gentle and elegant, the movement looks as if it is dancing. Thus, we named it Dancing Stone.
The center stone swings and flickers along with a person's heart beat and breath.

Business Activities – Our Exclusive Dancing Stone Technology
The mechanism for “dancing” in response to even tiny body movements
Obtained a patent for Dancing Stone in Europe and other 8 countries

Taiwan
Using an ordinary jump ring
The contact area using an ordinary jump ring is large. If the contact point is fixed,
the stone stops swinging.
Using Dancing Stone's jump ring
The contact area using Dancing Stone’s jump ring is small like a point. As a result of less friction, the stone swings constantly with the best effect.

The origin of the tennis bracelet
During a tennis match at the U.S. Open in 1987, Chris Evert suddenly asked for a time out. Her diamond bracelet hook had broken and the bracelet had fallen off. She needed time to look for it. Chris later referred to the bracelet as a “tennis bracelet” and the name has been used for bracelets of that type ever since.
1. Increase sales of tennis bracelets
31Copyright (C) Crossfor All Rights ReservedCopyright (C) Crossfor All Rights Reserved
Many women know about tennis bracelets.
Benefit 1 – No need for promotional activities
Tennis bracelets are already a major product at jewelry stores worldwide.
Benefit 2 – Crossfor sells jewelry to more than 250 buyers worldwide, including relationships with Swarovski and many other globally well-known companies
Tennis bracelets are popular but cannot be mass produced because of the difficulty of fabricating these bracelets.
Benefit 3 – Crossfor can use sophisticated machinery to produce these bracelets, making it possible to accept high-volume orders from well-known companies around the world
Why the tennis bracelet market is an excellent fit for Crossfor
1. Increase sales of tennis bracelets
