In recent years, many customers from around the world have visited our Sangenjaya atelier, seeking the precision and craftsmanship of Japanese artisans. In this article, we will take a closer look at our core technique, forging, and the range of services we offer, available to international clients as well.
1. The Craftsmanship We Cherish: Forging (Tanzō)
At the heart of our jewelry-making is the forging (Tanzō) method, a tradition we have carefully preserved since our founding. While most mass-produced jewelry is created through casting, where metal is poured into molds, we have always prioritized the art of forging.
- Hammering and Forging: Our skilled artisans repeatedly hammer and press blocks of metal under high pressure to shape each piece.
- Exceptional Strength: By eliminating air bubbles and maximizing the metal’s density, forged rings are highly resistant to deformation and scratches, resulting in an exceptionally durable piece.
- Comfortable Wear: The high-density metal creates a smooth, almost skin-like finish, making forged rings ideal for everyday wear, especially wedding bands.
2. Extensive Collections and Custom Orders
We offer a wide range of jewelry, from pieces that tell your personal story to designer-crafted collections, giving you plenty of options to suit your style.
- Engagement Rings: Fully custom-made to maximize the brilliance of your diamond. Consult with us for rings specially designed for your proposal.
