JEWELS AREN’T JUST PRETTY After helping out the impossibly elegant Englishman Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian, Seigi accepts a job in Richard’s jewelry store. One day, Takatsuki, a flashy-looking host, comes in looking for something to impress his clients. Takatsuki’s eyes light on an amethyst, at which point Richard relates to him the legend behind the stone. What is the jewel’s story, and how does it affect the haughty host’s decision?
This highly acclaimed mystery tale about a young man teaming up with a handsome jewelry appraiser inspired a popular anime–and a manga adaptation (also from Seven Seas)! Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian is a brilliant and enigmatic British jewelry appraiser. Seigi Nakata is a young college student. Their worlds are as different as can be, but when a chance encounter leads Seigi to hire Richard to appraise a family heirloom, it sparks a partnership that goes well beyond that one job. Together, the duo investigate jewelry-related cases and solve mysteries, finding the secret messages hidden in the hearts of precious stones–and the hearts of those who possess them.
One month after arriving in the mountain city of Kandy to begin his studies as a jeweler, Seigi receives a strange e-mail from "Jeffrey," with the subject line "Help Richard." Within is an itinerary for a luxury cruise...that leaves in three days. What has the beautiful jeweler got himself into now?! And can Seigi come to his rescue yet again?
IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT MATCH Seigi, an ordinary university student, works at a jewelry shop run by the decidedly not-ordinary Richard. One day, a young boy named Hajime walks in, takes out a small cat’s eye gemstone, and asks Richard for a matching stone. What story lies behind this particular request?
The reappearance of a complicated figure turns Seigi's life upside down--his birth father, Hisashi Shimeno. The man he wants nothing to do with will not leave him be, and Seigi would rather quit Jewelry Étranger for good than risk bringing trouble to Richard's door. That is, if Richard will let him go...
DEADLY BEAUTY Seigi’s eye for cut, carat, and clarity grows sharper by the day as he works under the beautiful and talented Richard. He’ll need that keen eye for their next case involving a “cursed” emerald necklace that once belonged to a dead ballerina. Tasked by a famous ballet company to investigate the necklace, Richard and Seigi must, once again, plumb the multi-faceted depths of the human heart.
Richard suddenly closes Jewelry etranger and vanishes, leaving Seigi stunned and alone. Acting on information from Saul, Seigi makes his way to England in pursuit of his wayward boss. When the beautiful jeweler's tortured past comes back to haunt him, what's his knight in shining armor to do?!
