Oru K18 Akoya Cultuered Pearl Ring

Simple lines and slightly baroque Akoya pearl

A pearl is placed in that corner of the curve.

This ring is inspired by the accidental shape that is created when a metal plate is folded.

"Oru” means to fold in Japanese.
The word and motion of “folding” is an essential part of Japanese culture.

Fold Origami. Fold a metal plate. Folding cloth, etc.
We fold something every day.
Our lives are made comfortable by the daily accumulation of the trivial motion of “folding”.
In the daily movements that we repeat unknowingly,
The careful way of life oozes out,
It seems that this is where the essence of the beauty of human life lies.

This ring was inspired by our daily routines.

Akoya pearl is horizontal, oval-shaped, slightly baroque pearl.

The pearl is oval-shaped and slightly baroque, so it is not too high, making it easy to use for everyday use.

These pearls are from Doi Pearl's farm in Uwajima.

Dolphins sometimes come to the cove where there are few waves.
