--Since 1970, sincere craftsmanship delivered from Sangenjaya's metal engraving studio.
Introduction: historic gold price spike. Is it a "loss" to buy a ring now?
Gold (gold) prices are currently at historically high levels. Many couples are hesitant to purchase wedding rings, saying, "A few years ago, I could have bought them at a much lower price. ......
However, we at MITUBACI TOKYO, who have been keeping an eye on precious metals since 1970 as an engraving studio in Sangenjaya, have a slightly different perspective. We are convinced that, in this time of rising prices, choosing a piece that has "the pure value of the material itself" and "backed by technology" rather than paying for a temporary fad or brand name will result in a highly satisfying choice.
Balance between design preferences and "durability" for a lifetime of use.
Recently, fashionable rings with "slender and delicate designs" have become popular. Although they have the charm of making your finger look dainty, there are some points you should know if you are going to wear it "every day for decades" like a wedding ring.
- Risk of deformation: - Risk of deformation: - Risk of deformation: - Risk of deformation Very slender rings and products made of thin metal are prone to deformation when subjected to pressure from everyday movements. Deformation can also cause problems, such as the jewel being easily detached from its clasp.
- Reliability through the forging process:. The "forging process" employed by MITUBACI involves beating and compressing metal to increase its density. With the rising price of gold, using a sufficient amount of base metal to create a high-density, "deformation-resistant ring" is a wise choice that will reduce the need for future maintenance.
Returns to the quality of materials and craftsmanship, not advertising costs.
When studying luxury jewelry culture in Italy, Representative Fujimori realized how much of the price of a product is accounted for by advertising costs to convey the brand's world view and rent for prime locations.
We do not advertise excessively, and our skilled craftsmen work directly with our customers in our own workshop in Sangenjaya. We return the cost savings to the quality of materials such as platinum 950 and K18 gold, as well as to the skills of our craftsmen. We offer a fair and transparent price for the weight of the material and the time and effort involved. This has been our pride since we started our business as "Fujimori Engraving Studio" in 1970.
Ultimate fit: "Lifetime of comfort" achieved by No. 10.5
In addition to material value, MITUBACI also pursues the practical value of "a perfect fit for ourselves. Since professional craftsmen adjust sizes on the spot, half sizes such as "size 10.5," which are rarely found in ready-made products, and minute adjustments according to the condition of the finger are possible. Because they are meant to be worn for a long time, we place great importance on a fit that is "comfortable to wear every day" without any compromise.
The added value of a "story" for you 10 years from now
The value of gold is universal. However, when the one and only story that "we beat the gold ourselves and made it together with craftsmen in our workshop in Sangenjaya" is added to it, the value of the ring becomes priceless.
I'm glad we stuck to our guns and made the real thing back then."
Such conversations will further strengthen the bond between the two of you in 10 or 20 years.
