Collection: The Mitsuro Hikime

蜜蝋引き目
honey (mitsu) wax (ro) draw (hiki) texture (me)

Mitsuro hikime is a traditional Japanese lost-wax jewelry making technique.

It involves creating a wax with unique properties, based on beeswax and pine resin. By slowly heating it and then kneading it in a particular motion, an incredibly delicate organic and fluid material is obtained.

Thus, each piece of jewelry is unique and bears the trace of the gesture that shaped it.

The light appearance and subtle texture of Mitsuro hikime jewelry express a poetry that deeply moves me.

I never tire of working with these silky ribbons and discovering with wonder how material and movement collaborate.
