Choosing Wedding Rings. If it were me, I would want to go here first♡
Choosing wedding rings is a happy moment when you feel, "Wow, I’m really getting married~~♡"
Up until now, I have several rings I bought for fashion, and rings I made or received with my partner for anniversaries...
However, the marriage ring we choose together as a symbol of our union clearly carries a different significance in a good way♡
It’s not something we change based on our mood, but a unique piece that we wear every day and becomes a part of us.
Every day when I leave the house in the morning, during work, and when I go to bed at night. Each time I catch a glimpse of it, I want to be able to think in my heart, "It's so cute today♡" and "It's really my favorite♡", so I want to choose something satisfying.
When it comes to ways to select wedding rings, the mainstream is to choose from completed collections available at stores or websites...
However, I’ve also heard that there are places where you can create a unique design just for yourselves through custom orders, and places that allow semi-customization with parts♡
Since I don’t yet know what exactly I like, I want to start by visiting brands that offer various ways to choose♩
There are many ring brands, but during my research, I discovered a shop called ith♡
Have you heard of it....??
ith is a custom-made wedding ring workshop♡
At the beginning of my search for wedding rings, I found myself drawn to well-known overseas jewelry brands that everyone recognizes...
But after learning about the charm of ith, I felt that I don't have to cling to such big brands♡
I want to choose a ring store that supports and cares about selecting a beautiful ring with care, so now I’m interested in ith♡
What kind of brand is ith?
The history of ith began in 2014, in a small atelier in Kichijoji.
It was founded by a woman named Ayu Takahashi, a craftsman and the brand representative. After graduating from middle school, she began specializing in metal crafts at the age of 15 and started ith alone in a vintage room in Kichijoji after 8.5 years of training at a jewelry manufacturer♡
At that time, she handled everything from customer service to sales, production, and delivery by herself, but the rings created from her concept of "caring about one over many" resonated with many, and now she has ateliers in 11 locations nationwide.
Every ring ordered is handcrafted one by one by skilled craftsmen at ith’s workshop, allowing for detailed requests to be fulfilled, which is a major charm.
What hasn’t changed since opening is the belief that "we are a workshop that creates wedding rings based on what the customer really wants." They ensure that the craftsman’s ego doesn’t interfere in the process.
When you think about it, it’s true that in other stores, brands often already have a defined image, saying things like, "Our selling point is this" or "This is our signature product." So, we often feel like we are trying to conform to the brand when we think, "Well, if I had to choose from among these, it would be this..."
But ith feels nothing like that.
Under the concept of "valuing one over many," the craftsmen who engage with customers thoughtfully consider and propose ideas to create that one-of-a-kind ring, which is truly special♡

You can also order custom designs and choose from pre-existing ones*
Since ith is a custom-made atelier, they can perfectly fulfill your wish like, "I want a ring design like this within this budget!"♡
Therefore, it’s undoubtedly the best for couples who want to prioritize originality and have specific preferences♡
But.
"Honestly, I don't need a design that’s too extravagant or expresses my individuality too much."
"I don’t want a design that’s overly sharp or different."
There may be many couples who feel this way.
For those customers who don’t necessarily want full custom orders, ith welcomes you too♡
There are over 100 collection rings (pre-existing designs) on display in the atelier, so it’s also fine to choose a design you like from among them♡
There are no strict requirements to order custom only, so choosing normally and buying is also okay.
Of course, even with that, the rings will be tailor-made to your exact size after ordering, so there’s that thrill of receiving something made just for the two of you*
The atelier has a cozy atmosphere, resembling a hidden cafe, allowing you to leisurely explore and try on as many styles as you want. Unlike boutiques where you might feel the pressure of others’ eyes or have to worry about whether it's okay to try things on, this place offers a relaxed experience. (You can try on far more rings than what’s shown in this photo♩)
Additionally, during the fitting process, it is possible to customize based on a specific design you’re interested in. You can adjust the shape and size of diamonds, the number, the type of metal, color, thickness, width, arrangement, and more, allowing for semi-custom orders, which is exciting♡
Requests like, "This is cute, but I want to narrow the width a bit and add some stones to make it delicate but sparkly," are welcomed with open arms.
With the variety of selection patterns available, I hope you enjoy your wedding ring selection time naturally, in a relaxed and carefree manner♡

A lineup of cute rings♡
From here, I will introduce a lot of design photos of wedding rings and engagement rings you can actually order and customize at ith.
Get into the mindset of a jewelry designer and imagine how you would want to arrange things here as you view them♩
(1)
If you look closely, you will notice that it's a pair wedding ring with a wavy silhouette rather than a straight one.
The random arrangement of diamonds is stylish♡
(2)
The eternity ring in the center has varying sizes, giving it a cute, non-uniform look♡
(3)
There’s individuality in the way the diamonds are set, with styles such as bezel set, princess cut, and star motif engraved.
Which one do you like??
(4)
There’s also a slightly different signet ring inspired by the design of a signet.
The ring at the bottom of the photo contains a bird motif, and being able to include your favorite motifs is also one of the charms of ith♡
(5)
For classic and authentic engagement and wedding rings, trust ith♡
Engagement rings start from around 210,000 to 220,000 yen, while marriage rings are available starting from around 80,000 to 90,000 yen.
The website clearly indicates prices including tax for men's and women's rings, as well as by material, allowing you to grasp the budget even before visiting, and they will also propose options to match your budget♩
(6)
A design that connects both of your initials.
When placing it at home, I want to stack them on top of each other♡
(7)
A reference to the French word for small stones, the mele diamond ring comes in so many styles.
Even small stones sparkle♡
(8)
A wedding ring with a hammered texture that creates an uneven surface.
If finished in a matte style like in the photo, it has a crafty feel, but of course, it can also be polished perfectly shiny♩
(9)
What caught my attention particularly was this collection with pearls♡
Isn’t the combination of diamonds and pearls just too cute.....??
If received as a proposal, I would be amazed by his taste♡
(10)
Matching yellow gold wedding rings with a ruby for the husband and a sapphire for the wife.
Having colored stones in different colors is subtle yet lovely.
(11)
Besides the standard round diamonds, you can also choose fancy cuts like heart shape and oval.
At ith, it feels normal to be able to do anything, but it's something that isn't commonly available at other shops...!
(12)
ith also has a rich variety of stacking rings♡
They offer ideas that I wouldn’t think of, such as pairing a slim eternity ring for the engagement ring with a marriage ring that is a similar width to the groom's, giving it a vintage feel.
(13)
A wedding ring with a deep V-cut design that matches the engagement ring is fashionable.
When stacked, they fit perfectly, and surely even worn individually, they will have a unique character♡
You can request prototypes, allowing you to confidently entrust original designs. Plus, they will consider a fitting wedding ring even for engagement rings from other brands♩
