Hello, this is Shigeta from Adan Staff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I experienced making silver rings at MITUBACI, a brand run by Adan's Atelier.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We would like to introduce you to this workshop.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the honeybee workshop,<\/p>\n

Making silver rings<\/p>\n

Making silver bangles<\/p>\n

You can experience three different types of rings: K18 champagne gold ring making, K18 gold ring making, and K18 champagne gold ring making.<\/p>\n

These three, as well as surface treatment and engraving, can be made in your own way.<\/p>\n

I decided to make a silver ring.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A craftsman will always be by your side to teach you how to make it.<\/p>\n

After first deciding on the material, ring width, and size, the first step is to engrave the inside of the ring.<\/p>\n

It is a process that suddenly makes me nervous.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are so many different types of engravings that it is hard to choose the right one.<\/p>\n

I was attracted by the picture of Mt. Fuji, so I typed Mt. Fuji and the clouds around it.<\/p>\n

For lovers or friends, we recommend initials or anniversaries.<\/p>\n

Once the engraving is done, we become attached to the bullion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When metal is heated, it softens and changes shape more easily.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once the metal is softened, the core metal is used to pound it into a round shape.<\/p>\n

After rounding the metal according to the size of the ring, the craftsman checks it once.<\/p>\n

I had the tips cut with a thread saw so that the two ends of the ring would fit snugly together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is then brazed on next.<\/p>\n

Hold the burner over the ring and wait patiently for the wax to melt....<\/p>\n

I asked the craftsman to turn off the fire at the right moment, and in no time at all, one short piece of bullion was connected in a round shape.<\/p>\n

(Beware that if you put the distorted ring on your finger right here, it was going to be impossible to remove!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is where the hard work begins.<\/p>\n

We also use the core metal to re-circle the ring into a beautiful round shape and adjust the size here.<\/p>\n

The rings are stretched by striking them over and over again with great force. I felt the strength of silver in the ring that did not spread easily.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can also do the surface treatment yourself.<\/p>\n

I decided to use a process called forrester on half of the circle and leave the mirror surface as it is on the other half.<\/p>\n

I use a special hammer and keep pounding until I am satisfied. Even if your arm hurts, you will pound it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The finishing touch is polishing.<\/p>\n

After polishing with a rheater, it is polished with a machine called a buff, shown in the photo, and becomes cleaner and cleaner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The uneven flame that was created during the soldering process, which was not obvious, was carefully removed by the craftsman, and the piece shined up!<\/p>\n

I can't wait to put it on my finger.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is the finished product.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ring has become a ring with a different face depending on the surface it is shown on.<\/p>\n

We are pleased with the tree-trunk-like forester texture and the mirror polish.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I finished and looked at the clock, I was surprised to see that only two hours had passed.<\/p>\n

The generous support and extraordinary experience made the two hours fly by.<\/p>\n

I want to make a ring or bangle that is different from others!<\/p>\n

How is a ring made? We would like you to visit us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MITUBACI is located in the same building as Adan's atelier, so please visit us not only to see our products, but also to observe ring production.<\/p>\n
