MOKUMEGANEYA, the premier wedding ring specialty store, has been honored with Best Luxury Jewelry Brand in Japan by the 2024 Luxury Lifestyle Awards. Established by Masaki Takahashi on December 1, 2003, MOKUMEGANEYA is distinguished for its commitment to the artistry of Mokume Gane, a traditional Japanese metal processing technique rooted in history, dating back 400 years to the Edo period.

Mokume Gane, involves carving and forging layers of different metals to create a unique wood-grain pattern. MOKUMEGANEYA stands out as the first in the world to conduct restoration research on the oldest Mokume Gane from the Edo period. Owner Masaki Takahashi, a Ph.D. recipient, published groundbreaking research on the craft, ensuring the preservation and evolution of this exquisite tradition.

At the forefront of innovation, MOKUMEGANEYA manufactures and sells Mokume Gane wedding rings, specializing in the unique “Tsunagaru Katachi” This original product processes one ring into two connected rings, allowing couples to share an imprint on each ring. The result is a profound connection symbolized by the individual patterns, reminding partners of their bond even when physically apart.

The Mokume Gane process ensures that no two wood grain patterns are alike, providing a luxury experience where each couple receives a pair of wedding rings with truly unique patterns. MOKUMEGANEYA offers extensive personalization options, allowing users to choose ring shape, size, metal material, and additional features such as engraved text and finishing methods. The combination of metals used, including platinum, gold, and silver, results in one-of-a-kind rings tailored to each customer’s preferences.

MOKUMEGANEYA’s “Tsunagaru Katachi” is an original product crafted from a single piece of wood-grain patterned board, connecting rings for two people. This shared wedding ring undergoes a transformation during the sharing process, leaving behind traces as proof of a connection. It’s not just a superficial design; it’s a symbol of continued connection.

For MOKUMEGANEYA, luxury is defined by the happiness that fills the user’s heart. Craftsmen take personal responsibility for creating and realizing customized rings that align with the customer’s unique preferences.

MOKUMEGANEYA distinguishes itself by offering custom-made traditional craft techniques, manufacturing wedding rings in its own workshop, specializing in Mokume Gane, and actively preserving and researching the culture through the Japan Mokume Gane Research Institute. The store even invites users to participate in the production of their wedding rings, creating an immersive and unforgettable experience.

Thank you to Luxury Lifestyle Awards for this wonderful recognition. We hope this award will bring more awareness about our brand and our special products” says Owner, Masaki Takahashi.
