Beautiful and strong, forged rings made with Japanese craftsmanship

KARAFURU's wedding ring "Tohru" is a product that embodies the artisanal skill created using forging techniques.
Forging is a metal processing technique, and in Japan it is a world-renowned technique that has been cultivated especially by the swordsmiths who make Japanese swords.

Forging Technology

There are two main methods for making rings: casting and forging.

Casting is a manufacturing method in which a mold is made and molten metal is poured into it, allowing for mass production and the creation of items with intricate patterns at low cost.

On the other hand, the forging that I will introduce this time is a manufacturing method in which metal is heated and repeatedly hammered to make it strong and flexible. Japanese forging is a world-renowned technique that has developed independently, as typified by the Japanese sword.

Handcrafted wedding rings "TOU"

KARAFURU's wedding ring "TOU" allows you to fully enjoy the art of forging.
Because the craftsmen make each piece while considering the feelings of the wearer, they are able to achieve a comfortable fit that fits perfectly on the finger.

Three designs and five widths

1. Basic matte

The beautiful flat curves are carefully polished to create a luxurious item that is the result of meticulous craftsmanship.

2. Hammered finish

Enjoy the reflections of the hammered patterns created by varying the size of the hammer and applying just the right amount of pressure.

3. Hammered matte

The garnet (gemstone) is hammered into the piece and then matte-finished to create a calm look.

There are three designs in total: Basic Matte, which has been carefully polished, and Hammered Gloss and Hammered Matte, which retain the hand-crafted finish of the hammered texture.
You can also choose from five different widths, ranging from 1mm to 3mm, for each design.
It is rare to find a wedding ring with such a fine range of widths to choose from, but we offer this variety because we want to suggest what is best for each wearer.
Choose the one that best suits your hand shape, skin color, and lifestyle.

3mm, 2.5mm, 2mm, 1.5mm, 1mm
