Brillar Co., Ltd.
A pioneering career change to join a company where my wife serves as CEO/Moissanite jewelry brand – Brijard – Announcement of new CFO appointment
……
Brillar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director: Isou Ohara, hereinafter referred to as Brillar) has appointed Mr. Shinya Ohara as a new CFO with the aim of strengthening its management structure and accelerating business growth. We would like to inform you that we have been appointed. Background of appointment
Now in its 7th year since its founding, Brijar is aiming to further expand its business as Japan’s first (*1) jeweler specializing in moissanite, as the recognition of moissanite as an ethical jewelry is increasing. In order to strengthen our management structure and accelerate business growth, we have appointed Shinya Ohara, who has extensive business management knowledge, as our new CFO. We aim to further improve corporate value by leading fund procurement and investment strategies.
In addition, Mr. Ohara is also the husband of Yosato Ohara, the representative director and president of Brijard, and this case is a rare case in which the husband of the representative director and president, who is a female business owner, is appointed as CFO. However, while working on the front lines as a mid-level employee at a general trading company in her previous job, Ms. Ohara took seven months of childcare leave, and while reducing her overtime work, she was proactively and fully responsible for housework and childcare. We have realized the way we work.
Brijar has supported the working styles of women who want to continue working even as their life stages change (employment for those who have been forced to retire due to their spouse being stationed upon their return to Japan, encouragement for employees to take childcare leave, support for working from home, etc.) We have been working to make full use of this (full remote is possible depending on the job content).
We will continue to search for ideal working styles for sustainable employees and aim for further diversity management.

Comment from Shinya Ohara
My name is Ohara and I will be assuming the position of CFO. I have decided to participate in a company started by my wife, who is the president and representative director. We understand that this is a rare case, but considering my wife's business and family situation, we have decided to become a member of Brijar. I would like to continue to act based on my own values, which is to aim for a balance between business and family life, without being bound by precedent or custom. At Brijar, I will strive to improve corporate value based on my knowledge of sales, business development, accounting, taxation, legal affairs, and business management from my previous job.
In my previous job, I was involved in the electric power field, where I recognized the importance of renewable energy from a sustainability perspective and experienced the tremendous demand for it, so I believe that ethical consumption will receive even more attention. In the field of jewelry, artificial gemstones such as moissanite, which we handle, and lab-grown diamonds, which have become rapidly popular in recent years, can be produced stably and inexpensively, have a low environmental impact, and are superior to natural gemstones from an ethical standpoint. I am.
Up until now, artificial and natural gemstones have often been talked about in the context of ``Are they real?'' or ``Are they fake?'' However, in the future, the focus of jewelry will shift from the rarity of stones to the unique characteristics of stones. We believe that the focus will shift to properties (shine, durability, oil resistance), design, and quality of the base metal.
In the times mentioned above, we are confident that Brijard's moissanite jewelry has a bright future ahead, as it has unique properties such as strong shine, toughness, and stain resistance that surpass even diamonds. As a jeweler specializing in moissanite, we will contribute to delivering high-quality ethical jewelry to all our customers.
Additionally, we will open a roadside store in Ginza 2-chome from December 3rd (Sunday), creating an environment that is easy for everyone to visit.
What is moissanite?
Moissanite is a synthetic gemstone that combines beautiful brilliance and high durability, and is said to be ``2.5 times brighter than diamond (*2)'' due to its fire and refractive index exceeding that of diamond.
