Wedding Rings That Grow with the Couple, Three Years into Their Journey

 

 

3 years since the rings were delivered.

The couple have returned to ith's atelier.

As they wore the rings they had chosen with care,

their tastes gradually changed.

 

"We'd like the rings to change to suit who we are now."

With that sentiment,

they decided to make alterations to the rings once again.

 

ith's "Simple & Build" approach to nurturing the rings.

 

The couple's wedding rings, made 3 years ago

3 years ago, on 1 November,

the couple had planned to marry on that date,

they loved the outdoors,

and they enjoyed talking about their beloved dog as well.

 

The concierge at the time, after consulting, chose

a comfortable touch and a clean, rounded, domed profile.

 

The woman chose yellow gold, and the man platinum; they decided the metal colours to suit their respective tastes.

 

 

On the surface, to blend naturally with everyday attire,

a delicate, soft "hairline" finish.

 

Because they do not usually wear matching jewellery, the wedding rings should be a special presence they can feel in everyday moments.

Such a sentiment gave birth to the rings.

 

The rounded form and the subdued finish now sit gently on the couple's hands.

The couple's preferences that changed over 3 years

3 years have passed since then.

This year, when the couple visited the atelier again, their rings bore the time they had worn with care every day.

 

The initial "hairline" finish has gradually settled in, with changes on the surface born from 3 years.

 

 

That expression is another record of the time spent with the rings.

Meanwhile, their tastes gradually changed, and they asked for "this time, a ring with a more noticeable texture".

 

At ith,

we offer maintenance within the philosophy of

"Simple & Build" to add new expressions to rings

in line with changes in life and preferences.

 

To suit the couple as they are now, rather than 3 years ago, they reconsidered the rings.

 

We were very pleased to be part of that time.

The newly chosen "Hammered Autumn" texture

In the atelier, they took samples of various textures and wore them on their fingers, comparing them closely.

 

Among them, they were drawn to the hammered motif of "Tsuchime Aki" with a craft-like feel.

 

The fine hammering, produced by the craftsman's hand, reveals a range of expressions as light falls on it.

 

The cherished domed form remained,

while preserving the beauty of the metals they had chosen,

we added the texture of "Tsuchime Aki" as a new finish.

 

 

Because the rings have been worn with care for 3 years, rather than replacing everything, we preserved the time that has passed, making rings that reflect who the couple are now.

In this way, the creation became a process of nurturing the rings once again.

Going forward, together with the couple

The ring, having gained a fresh expression through the craftsman's hands, carries the memories of 3 years, yet now bears a subtly different look.

The couple were delighted to see the new ring, and it was a joy to witness their smiles at delivery.

 

Wedding rings are not completed on the day of choosing them; they gradually change through daily wear, growing into expressions that suit the couple.

To the ring selected 3 years ago, we have newly welcomed the texture of "Tsuchime Aki" chosen by the couple now.

 

As they continue to spend new years together, we hope it will continue to grow into a ring that reflects them.

 

Today marks the 3-year anniversary.

 

From now on, along with their days,

may the rings quietly accompany them.
