屋久島,ジュエリー,オーダーメイドのマリッジリング（結婚・婚約指輪）制作 | Kei Nakamura Jewellery Blog

I am making their gold rings, surrounded by new flowers blooming each day.

This morning, I saw milk vetch along my usual walking path.

Although it is still cold, the earth is always the first to tell us when the seasons turn.

I finished polishing two gold rings and refined them into the same design, perfectly matched in different sizes.

Further decorative patterns will be applied here.

Maybe when their rings are complete, the island will be bathed in the dazzling light of spring.

In a small forest near my studio.

I took the two rings in my hand and gazed at their outlines.

I feel they have come together into a refined and elegant form.

As I looked up at the sunlight spilling through the trees, I suddenly found myself thinking of the two of them.

It was a warm, hopeful light that hinted at spring.

Thank you, as always.

As for the long-awaited completion, that is a story for another time.

When Rings Take Shape in Spring’s Slumber #YakushimaCustomRingStories

Before starting work, I went out for a short drive and saw the ocean.

The spring air was hazy, and I stood gazing at the horizon in its gentle slumber.

Life on the island always offers a gentle rest for the eyes.

And today again, as I feel the spring breeze…

I began shaping its surface.

Using a rough metal file, I filed it down decisively.

I formed a gentle curve little by little.

Metal fragments scattered across the workbench, catching the light.

I found myself watching its beauty, then kept adding touches.

Remembering the plum blossoms I had seen on my way home from the sea.

I gave the surface a gentle curve, leaving the sides flat.

It’s a gentle yet crisp form.

I could feel the solid weight of the yellow gold.

With the inside rounded, it should feel comfortable to wear.

With this, the shaping of his ring is complete.

Our process is now a little past halfway.

Thank You for Another Day, Yakushima #YakushimaCustomRingStories
