Gundam SEED FREEDOM Film's 'Haumea's Guardian Stone' Becomes a Real Necklace

Great news for Gundam SEED FREEDOM fans! The Haumea's Guardian Stone (Haumea no Mamori Ishi), which holds great symbolic significance in the film, is now appearing as a real-life accessory you can wear around your neck. Produced by Japanese jewelry brand THE KISS, this collaboration necklace faithfully recreates the stone's texture, color, and luster while staying true to the film's visual design.

As you may recall, Gundam SEED FREEDOM was the latest film in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED series, released in Japan in January 2024. Directed by Mitsuo Fukuda, the production deepened the friendship-rivalry relationship between Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala while exploring a new dimension of space-age politics. In the film, Haumea's Guardian Stone, a mystical object named after Saturn's moon Haumea, appeared at key moments in the story. Now, an exact replica of this stone will be crafted by THE KISS's expert jewelers using 925 sterling silver and specially processed crystal stones.

Although the official price and release date of the necklace have not been announced yet, the brand's previous similar collaborations with major productions like Evangelion and Attack on Titan suggest that this product will also be limited edition and in high demand. The film, which grossed over 8 billion yen weekly in Japan, maintaining its popularity through such licensed products is significant for the industry. During the international screenings of Gundam SEED FREEDOM, one of the most frequently asked questions from fans was whether a real replica of this stone would be available. THE KISS's collaboration seems to reassure those who were curious.

So why is this important? The Gundam SEED series has been not just a mecha anime since 2002, but a cultural phenomenon that has created a vast product universe. The production of the Haumea stone as a necklace is one of the most tangible examples of the story coming to life in the material world. If you also want to carry this symbolic object from the film in real life, you can follow the pre-order details on THE KISS's official website. It is expected to be available for international sale soon through Crunchyroll or local distributors. Fans are already counting down the days to add this special piece to their collections.
