Mokume Gane, Japanese Unique Wedding bands and Engagement rings

“Tsunagaru-Katachi” (linked shapes) is a concept that creates two rings out of the same billet, or block, of Mokumegane.
You can choose your favorite design and, if you are in Japan, also experience the Sharing ceremony. The “Tsunagaru Katachi” concept has won several awards, including the Japanese “Good Design Award”, the “Reddot Design Award” and the “iF Design Award”. We also won the “GERMAN DESIGN AWARD” and received Featured Finalist from the “IDEA”.

The ring that creates a special bond with your partner.

The ring that has a unique wood grain pattern

It can be split into two rings.

By your very own hands

The one ring turns into two

As witness to a couple bonded for eternity

The two connected rings

Are held above and below one another

And are brought together

Achieving their eternal form at that moment
