Wedding rings imbued with the warmth of artisanal craftsmanship

”Because it's something we'll wear for a long time, we want a ring that's been carefully crafted."

 

The couple, who had backgrounds in schools and professions related to craftsmanship, were interested in rings made by forging method, which led them to isit ith.

 

 

Feeling Craftsman's Breath, Forged Rings

At ith, rings are made from scratch by our craftsmen after receiving an order.

 

Rings made using the forging method are crafted by repeatedly heating the metal and striking it with a hammer until the ring is formed.

A distinctive feature of this method is the significant involvement of the artisan's handiwork throughout the creation process.

 

The couple were interested in the process of how the rings are made, and were attracted by the fact that the forging method allows them to feel the craftsman's breath even more.

 

The couple was particularly fond of the "Calando" ring, which is made using the forging method.

The design allows the couple to enjoy both the simple look of a wedding band and the unique impression of a ring with a concave center.

 

Texture Which is Carefully Applied One By One

The couple favored the matte finish for their rings, which they found to blend softly with their hands.

 

At ith, even the matte finish is carefully crafted by skilled artisans using different tools to match the various shapes of the ring.

 

The couple's favorite is a hairline finish, which is applied to the ring's surface in one direction.

The hairline finish, created by a craftsman moving the file in a constant direction, offers refined sheen through barely visible lines.

 

 

"Calando" was applied the hairline finish vertically along the concave design of the ring.

Therefore, the appeal also comes from a special sheen similar to the cat's eye effect seen in gemstones, which adds a distinctive allure.

 

From the raw metal to the final texture finish, the "Calando" ring they chose is filled with small details and craftsmanship.

Enjoy Ring Selection at the Atelier While Learning About Rings

 

While trying on many rings, the couple enjoyed discussing how each ring would look on their hands, the matching aspect between the rings, and how the final products would appear, thoroughly engaging in the selection process together.

 

 

At the time of delivery,  the customer said, "When I think about the process of making the ring, I am more moved when I receive it in my hand."  As the concierge, I was filled with joy.

 

Please spend a lot of time with the ring from now on, and nurture it into a ring that is unique to the two of you.

 

I look forward to serving them for many years to come.
