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 | Page 13

Lately, four deer have been living in front of my studio.

Meanwhile, I’ve been working on their wedding band, and we’ve promised to meet in Kyoto next month.

Maybe they’re a family, I guess the second one from the right is the mother.

It’s pretty rare to see them gathered in a group during the day.

We looked into each other’s eyes for over a minute. I felt something sacred.

He asked me to make his ring in the shape of an octagon.

The octagon is known as a lucky shape in many parts of Asia.

The number 8 is said to represent expansion and prosperity, symbolizing infinite growth. In Japanese, this idea is known as ‘Suehirogari’.

I had been carving yellow gold all day -boldly and deeply-, of course, with the joyful feeling of ‘Suehirogari’ in my heart.

The Beginning of a Story of Creating Wedding Rings, Shared with Them #YakushimaWeddingRingsStories

Making a wide ring with precious metal is always exciting.

While working at my desk, I can feel the Earth’s vibrations through it.

Little by little, his ring took shape, flowing with the rhythm of time on Yakushima Island.

To make it easier to work with, I had to put it in the fire many times to soften it.

The process was slow, but also peaceful and enjoyable.

It’s been four years since I made their engagement rings.

I was so happy when they reached out again to tell me about their marriage!

This is the beginning of a story of creating wedding rings, shared with them.

I will make three rings and I hope to hand one of them over in person.

Yes,  they are actually coming to Japan this month, and we will meet in Kyoto!!
