A popular option on the wedding band options menu is the outer diamond setting.
MITUBACI currently offers three types of clasps and a choice of diamonds: diamonds and colored diamonds.
Each of these will be described in detail.
Star Setting
The first one is hoshidome (星留め).
This is a new fastening method that started in December 2023. It was so popular at our sister store KOBO in Singapore that we introduced it at MITUBACI!
The diamond is carved in four places (top, bottom, left, and right) before being fastened, making it look like a star.
Due to the space required around the gemstone, we accept rings with a minimum width of 2.5 mm for star clasps.
Flower Setting
The next item we will introduce is a flower clasp.
The round shape around the diamond makes it look like a petal.
Diamonds become more decorative and pretty.
Flower clasps are available for rings with a width of 2.0 mm or more.
4-point setting
Lastly, we introduce the 4-point clasp (yonten-dome).
This is the most basic fastening method.
The simple fastening method makes it suitable for any style.
The birthstone clasp shown inside the ring is also a four-point clasp.
Due to tool restrictions on the inside of the ring, all rings are fastened with a four-point clasp.
Special Order
Multiple diamonds can be fastened; if you wish to have more than 5 diamonds, please contact us as it may be difficult to deliver on the same day.

A5. We are sorry, but we do not allow processing with materials you bring in.
Q6. Can birthstones other than diamonds be fixed?
A6. Blue sapphires, pink sapphires, and rubies can be fastened on the front of the ring.
Other birthstones are softer and are not recommended for daily use wedding rings.
Q7. How do you put in the jewelry? Do you use glue? Can they be removed?
A7. We do not use any glue to fasten the gemstones, which are carefully fastened one by one by our craftsmen.
A tiny drill is used to make a minuscule hole in the finished ring, and the gemstone is set in it. A tool called a nanako is used to lay down and support the metal around the gemstone. The gemstone cannot be removed unless the ring is deformed or subjected to a strong impact.
