Mitsuro hikime (蜜蝋引き目) is a centuries-old Japanese wax-modelling technique used in lost-wax casting. Mitsuro means beeswax: warm wax is pulled, stretched and folded by hand into fluid, striated patterns like flowing silk or rippling water. The wax model is then burned out of a mold and replaced with molten metal. We make our own wax using only the traditional materials and cast every ring in 925 sterling silver, so no two pieces are alike. See the Mitsuro Hikime collection.

Use a ring size finder, or have your finger measured at a local jewelry store. Measure at the end of the day when fingers are slightly larger, and size up if you're between sizes or choosing a wide band.
