The Yu Flow

An architectural interpretation of the meditative ripples found along the Yu River. Designed as a uniquely textured wedding band or singular statement piece, the Yu Flow explores the permanence of form through a rhythmic, continuous silhouette. Meticulously modeled to achieve a disciplined balance between organic movement and structural weight, each band is finished by hand in Anne’s Tokyo studio.

The Tradition of Mitsuro Hikime

The Tradition of Mitsuro Hikime

Mitsuro Hikime is a traditional Japanese jewelry-making technique involving a soft wax composed of beeswax and pine resin. By carefully warming and pulling the wax, the artist creates a distinct, pleated texture known as hikime (drawn lines).

Because the wax is sculpted while soft and pliable, it captures organic, fluid shapes that are impossible to achieve through traditional Western carving. Once the desired form is reached, the wax is cast into precious metal, preserving the delicate, ribboning ridges in solid gold.
