菱形リング – HISHIGATA RING

*菱形指飾り
自然の空模様も透かして見える菱形がモチーフのリングになります。
菱形と言うと、皆様は何を想い出されるでしょうか!?
ひな祭りの菱餅、トランプのダイヤ、洋服のアーガイル模様・・・
と菱形というだけでも様々な菱形が連想されると思います。
水草の一種の「菱」の葉と身に形状が似ていることから、
古事記や万葉の時代から日本の伝統文様として愛されてきたと言われています。
平安時代には着物の文様に使われ、菱形が4つ組み合わさった「割菱」、
唐花が菱形になっている「花菱」、向かい合った2 羽の鶴が菱形の形状にデザインされた「向い鶴菱」など沢山の菱形がベースになった文様が生み出されました。
更には4 つの花菱により構成された「四つ花菱」は歌舞伎の高麗屋の家紋であり、2 代目・松本白鸚さんの定紋として有名です。
KANAME では「菱形」を透かし技法により、『菱形 指飾り』という名の
美しいフォルムのリングとして再現させました。
シルバー925( スターリングシルバー) の地金に
それぞれプラチナコーティングとK18 コーティングを施してます。
実際に指につけると指の肌の部分がシルバーやゴールドの間から透けて見え、ふと外した時には、テーブルに置いた時は光が差し込み美しい影を楽しめるのは
KANAME の職人達の透かし技法のリングだからなせる技です。
菱形模様の小紋に合わせた着物スタイルはもちろんのこと、
男性も菱文様の羽織と合わせて粋に着こなせますし、
ダイヤ柄やアーガイル柄の洋装とのコーディネイトもバランス良く綺麗に決まるので、スタイリッシュさが増す一品となります。
また、お着物をお召しの場合、サイズの大きいリングですと、
帯締めの太さ次第では帯留めのようにアクセサリー感覚でご利用頂くことも可能なので、菱形のモチーフから帯締めの色を透かしてお洒落にご利用下さっている方もいらっしゃいます。
外出先の風景をKANAME の『菱形 指飾り』で格子のように映してみたり、スカーフを止めたり、帯締めにしたりとアイデア次第でたくさんの楽しみ方が出来ます。
インスタ映えも綺麗なラグジュアリー感や耽美な中にも楽しさが
たくさん溢れたリングを日常に取り入れてみては?
KANAME では日本古来のモチーフを現代的なデザインへと落とし込み、
職人の手により一括生産されたジュエリー& アクセサリーを和装にも洋装にも合わせて日々身につけて頂く事で日本人であることを日々認識し、誇りを持てるような商品をご提案しております。
皆様には手にとって実物の質感をご覧いただけると嬉しく思います。

Various “Hishi” based design has been created.
Morover, “Yotsu-Hanabishi” made out of quad “Hanabishi” is an emblem of Korai-ya family of Kabuki,
and Hakuo Matsumoto the 2nd.
At KANAME design studio, by using traditional technique of “Sukashi-giho” ,
We made “Hishi Yubikazari” beautiful form of ring.
Platinum coating and K18 coating are applied to the base metal of silver 925 (sterling silver), respectively.
When You wear on your fingers, Your skin color show up in between Silver and Gold, and
When You take out those rings and put on the table, You can enjoy the shadows.
They are design created by those craftsman of KANAME craftsman.
Of course for Kimono Style of Komon of “Hishi” design patterns,
Also, Haori of “Hishi” pattern would be very stylish.

and the Hishi pattern Jewelry give an essence of stylishness.

*Obi Ring (Fukuro / Hankin)
We would love to introduce minimal&stylish rings of “Obi” motifs,
inspired by our proud culture to the world “Wa-soh” (stands for Kimono-our traditional costume).
There are 2 types of “Obi” motif designed JAPAN jewelry. “Fukuro-Obi” and “Hanhaba(1/2width)-Obi” .
“Fukuro-Obi” is basically for High classed Kimono, And “Hanhaba-Obi” is for Male Kimono or,
“Yukata” (casual cotton wear during the summer), and lately, arrangement of
“Hanhaba-Obi” is popular among young ladies with hipsters.
KANAME brand’ s Obi series “Fukuro-Obi Yubikazari” and “HanKin-Obi Yubikazari”
Platinum coating and K18 coating are applied to the base metal of silver 925 (sterling silver), respectively.
are rings with shape of “Fukuro-Obi” and “Hanhaba-Obi” .
By sensitive sculpture technique of sharp edge of Obi,
You can show movement of Obi belts on your fingers with elegance.
And We have wide ranges of variety sizes so that if You choose size 15, there are 5cm of inter circumference.
If you get 9mm wide Obidome, or round braided Obijime, diameter would be 1cm so that, You can use as “Obidome” as well.
Also, By wearing Both “Fukuro-Obi” ring and “Hankin-Obi” rings together, or by wearing silver/gold
material together, You can show uniqueness to your Kimono fashion.
Of course, You can make your kimono look stylish and cool but also, By wearing together with
Dark suits or minimal chic dress, You can produce avant-garde sophistication on yourself as well.
You can wear them for formal/casual occasion, and keep them forever as your treasure.
Especially those “Obi” collections are in minimal design of KANAME brand, so,
They don’ t choose your gender orientation.
You can wear them as pair or can be shared with your partner,
so, It’ s also essential item for stylish guys who loves dressed in Kimono.
How about visiting shrines together with them? After visiting shrine, how about some glass of sake?
For the one who are weak to alcohol, why don’ t you go for Amasake(Non-Alcohol)?
At this period, You can buy both Sake and Jewelry online.
So, It would be cool to spend time together with high Japanese Jewelry&accessories and Sake with atmosphere of Edo-era.
How elegant it would be to hold “Sakazuki” or “Ochoko” ,
wearing Golden/Silver Rings of “Fukuro-Obi Yubikazari” and “Hanhaba-Obi Yubikazari” !
