Customer's Chosen Design: Sakura Ichirin (Engagement Ring)
Me and my partner met each other during our study in South Korea. On a whim, we got on the ferry to Japan for Chuseok. This is where our story started, with me asking her out in Fukuoka. In a way, choosing Mokumeganeya is fitting as this was where everything started. The design is also ideal in that I was able to modify the base model to fit in symbolism.
First in having a plum as it is an important motif for winter as it blooms during winter, just as she was born in December. Second of all, the design lends itself to many other small but meaningful symbolism. The 5 petals, which together with the diamond carat and the circular shape of a ring, combined together would be the amount of days since I was born until that fateful event when I asked her out in Japan.
For both of us, the outdoors have always been something that we cherish. This is another reason why I chose Mokumeganeya, as they are one of the few that incorporate nature in a very delicate way into the ring. Starting from blending two metals (white gold and yellow gold), to organic branches that twirl into a plum.
