最新コレクションで用いられているミツローは、蜜ろう(ミツバチの巣から採れる蝋）と松ヤニ（マツの木から採れる天然樹脂）を混ぜて煮詰めた素材を使用して形作ります。特徴は引き目と言われる繊細な線模様。その引き目は環境や作る人の手によって表情を変えるため、それぞれが唯一無二のジュエリーです。
A highlight from our latest collection is the use of ‘beeswax casting’ , an ancient Japanese technique passed down for generations. It uses a mix of beeswax and pine resin. This technique creates delicate line patterns known as hikime, which vary based on the environment and the hands crafting them, making each piece unique. The wax captures a moment in time, shaped by gravity and natural forces.
