Collection Concept

gyoku series

This item was created with the inspiration from a journey around the world by 'traveling jeweller' bororo.

A huge stone ball that has a history of over 1,000 years, once seen on a trip to Costa Rica. The strong impact that Gyoku received from its existence is the source of inspiration.

A "complete sphere" cannot be produced even with modern technology, but people have been attracted to the existence of spheres since ancient times.
The presence of the sphere, which looks the same shape from any angle, is unique and unique. We named the craftsmen in Yamanashi who have worked with us for a long time called the polished balls "gyoku."

It is expressed as a modern jewelry by reinterpreting the motif of a sphere that has attracted people since ancient times, sometimes as an accessory and sometimes as an object of faith.
The warm roundness of the sphere, which is molded using traditional techniques, has been created with a dignified appearance, and the tension setting creates an item that gives it a Japanese feel.
