[At the were's reaction, his nervous and tense expression breaks pretty quickly into a smile, one that he tries to hide behind a drink of his soda. It's kind of a failure, since it's still there once he sets the glass down.]
It's...custom. [That's "where".] Of course, items with such an obvious Japanese influence are few and far between here, so I spoke with one of the jewelers that I frequent, who made me many items of which I wear. [He's mentioning this not because he wants to impress him with the lengths he went through for it, or how expensive it is, but to reassure him of one important fact.]
As such, I guarantee you there's no silver. Nothing is merely plated gold, so there will be no risk to you whatsoever. Along with the gold, the diamond and onyx are genuine as well.
[And, now, for the nerding.]
My hopes is that this ring will serve you well as more than just an accessory. Diamonds are said to bring victory, strength and great fortitude to whomever wears one. Along with this, it resonates as an excellent protection stone, said to help ward away dark spirits. It's also known to strengthen properties of other stones and its effects are especially strengthened when it is set in gold. It pairs well with the onyx because of this.
The onyx is known to help improve one's inner strength, willpower, self mastery and discipline, as well as their reasoning skills. Specifically, it helps to increase your focus, persistence and resistance, aiding in tasks that require these traits. Onyx is also capable of helping to soothe stress, panic and harsh moods, acting as a superior tool for grounding oneself. While it cannot guarantee success in what you are trying to accomplish, it works well for consolidating the properties of other stones. Meaning, combined with the positive attributes of the diamond and the setting of the stones, success can still be more assured than with either stone on their own.
[...well he did say he would try and help with the moon brain thing however he could. If Fuyuhiko wasn't expecting some kind of nerdy attempt, I don't know what to tell him. But it's clear from Gundam's expression and the emphasis he's putting into his explanation, even if it's not really something his brother believes in, he's really trying. Finding the perfect stones to use for something like this was very important. It needed to be functional along with nice looking...]
