Shikaku [しかく] Silver925 / K10 Ring

Cube Ring

This ring features cubes that travel in a full circle,

each maintaining a constant angle as they wrap around the band.

Digital and hand work

Created through digital modeling, the cubes form a precise and rhythmic pattern.

However, digital processes alone are not enough to create a ring that feels truly comfortable to wear.

The final balance and wearability are achieved through careful finishing by hand.

Enjoy the texture of metal

The texture on the sides of the ring reveals fine, radiating lines.

Actually, these come out pattern when it is produced with CAD data and output with a 3D printer.

Generally, this pattern is erased and polished.

We chose to preserve them—finding beauty in this accidental, layered texture.

Rather, we thought that this accidentally created pattern was "what an interesting expression!".

The Expression of Metal

The texture and expression of metal are rooted in the unique sensibilities and techniques passed down through Japanese metal craftsmanship.

Each MENTOSEN collection explores its own distinctive metal surface,
developed through close dialogue between designer and craftsperson.

Gold as an Accent

Only five of the square cubes are made in K10 gold, creating a subtle accent within the ring.
The silver and gold parts are crafted separately, then precisely soldered together by hand.

This process requires an exceptionally high level of accuracy and skill.

Inside is also a cube

Rings are generally flat on the inside.

However, this ring dared to leave the shape of Cube on the inside.
We wanted to express the interest of modeling.

Of course, the most important thing is to have a comfortable ring that people can wear all the time in a daily life.

Artisan, Ayumi finished with hand filing leaving each shape, and each corner is smoothed.

Even though edges and surfaces are left, it will not bother you at all when you wear it.

In this way, it was completed a smart and interesting ring.
