Handmade Wedding Bands Challenge
In the Heart of Sangenjaya
MITUBACI is a 1-minute walk from Sangenjaya station (access by train via the Tokyu Den-en-toshi line or the Setagaya line). We are located on the 4th level of the retro-looking Royal Mansion building. If you are unfamiliar with the area, we recommend arriving ten minutes earlier.
Reception
Design Consultation
Before getting started, you will be shown some jewelry samples. After deciding on your designs, you're good to go!
The Making Begins
Lengthening The Metal
Once you have decided on the color of your ring, our artisan will prepare a strip of metal—the very material used to make your ring. This metal strip will be lengthened out with the metal roller repeatedly—a process known as the "forging method." Applying more pressure to the metal increases its density along with durability, thus ensuring your jewelry to last a lifetime.
30 Minutes In
Engraving
Engrave on the back of the metal strip with either metal stamps or hand engraving by machine. You may choose to make your own ring or exchange with your partner!
1 Hour In
Shaping
The metal strip is bent with a wooden hammer around a ring mandrel. Once it takes the shape of a ring, the metal is further compressed with a ring stretcher to increase its durability, which is achievable only through the Tanzou forging method.
The soldering process follows and closes up the gap in the ring. At this stage, workshop participants will be able to experience handling the torch under close guidance by our veteran artisans.
※ Please note that the soldering of Platinum 950 will be handled by the artisans solely.
Achieving The Perfect Fit
You will be asked to try on the ring during the DIY processes. This ensures you to achieve a better fit than when you purchase ready-made rings!
2 Hours In
Filing and Sanding
More tools are used to smoothen the surfaces of your ring.
2 Hours 30 Minutes In
Adding Textures
The ring still has a plain surface at this stage. For those who wish to have a textured ring, this is where hand-hammering comes in. The best part? No two rings have the same texture, so what you own is truly one-of-a-kind!
What's Popular?
The hammered texture is well-loved for its distinctive hand-made element. Every strike carries its unique characteristic, and with that, every ring becomes the one-and-only in the world. Partners also often create textures for each other!

Completion!
And your rings are completed and can be put on right away!

To top it all, this memorable experience, too, will last a lifetime.
